2008 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · MJ08 AEX

This 2008 Ford Fiesta presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, with five consecutive passes and no defects or advisories recorded at any test. The most recent examination in October 2024 at 45,077 miles confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy and has followed a stable, improving maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical issues flagged by any tester. The recorded mileage of 45,077 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 2,500 miles per year, a genuinely low usage pattern. The annual increments are consistent and modest, with the largest single-year gap showing just over 5,200 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. There are no suspicious mileage jumps or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the car stood unused for extended stretches. The odometer readings align with a vehicle used for short local journeys or occasional weekend trips rather than sustained high-speed motorway work. While the MOT history is faultless, a buyer should not assume the car is free of age-related deterioration. Components such as rubber suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and exhaust mountings can perish or crack from age alone, even at low mileage. Brake discs and calipers may show surface corrosion if the car sat unused for weeks at a time. A thorough physical inspection should focus on the underside for any structural corrosion, particularly around the rear axle beam and front subframe mounting points, as these are known weak areas on this generation of Fiesta. The clean test record is a strong positive, but it reflects only the condition on the day of each MOT, not the current state of ageing consumables.
