2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MA58 VCP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 11 September 2025 at 83,063 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has maintained passes without recorded defects for the last three years. While the record shows failures immediately prior to passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of subsequent advisories suggests that issues are rectified quickly and do not represent a systemic mechanical failure. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,063 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,615 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of use, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,000 miles between September 2024 and 2025. This consistent low-mileage pattern suggests short trips, though low-age vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and dry seals that mileage-based wear do not capture. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, as low-mileage cars from this era are prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given the age of the Fiesta, the suspension bushes and coil springs may show signs of cracking despite the low use. The buyer should also check the brake system for seized calipers or corro discs, as long periods of standing can lead to surface pitting that a standard MOT test might not fully highlight.
