2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LT08 JWC

This 2008 Ford Fiesta holds a sparse and dated MOT history, with the most recent test recorded on August 8, 2014, at an unspecified mileage. Because the record ceases twelve years prior to the current date of August 2026, no current roadworthiness status can be established from these documents. The historical trajectory shows a mixture of clean passes and a March 2014 failure that required rectification for an insufficient windscreen washer flow and an incorrectly aimed nearside headlamp before passing on the same day. The recorded mileage stands at 47,666 miles, which averages approximately 2,648 miles per year over the life of the vehicle, representing exceptionally low usage for its age. The available test records span from March 2011 to August 2014, showing incremental mileage accumulation during that period but leaving a massive documentation gap of twelve years up to the present day. Low mileage on an eighteen-year-old chassis often indicates prolonged periods of inactivity, which can foster seized components, perished rubber, or stale fluids rather than conventional running wear. A physical inspection must prioritize areas highlighted in the historical advisories, specifically checking the condition of the front brake discs and pads, which were noted as worn, pitted, and thin during the March 2014 tests. Tyres require careful scrutiny for age-related perishing given the low usage pattern, following earlier advisories regarding tyres wearing close to the legal limit and a distorted nearside front road wheel bead rim. The buyer should also perform a thorough underside inspection to check for corrosion on structural members and suspension components that may have deteriorated during the unrecorded years.
