2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · ML08 ACJ

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 April 2026 at 34,276 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of flawless tests dating back to March 2022, indicating a car that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is remarkably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,904 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained modest and consistent, with the mileage increasing from 25,828 in March 2022 to 34,276 in April 2026. This suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept as a secondary vehicle rather than suffering from long periods of total stagnation. While the MOT record is devoid of mechanical failures, the low usage pattern poses specific risks. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as infrequent use often leads to seized components. The tyres and wiper blades should be checked for age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Attention must be paid to the rubber components and fluids. Suspension bushes and coil springs can perish over time even without high mileage, and the engine oil and coolant should be verified for degradation. Given the age of the car, a physical check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis is advised, as these issues do not always appear on a clean MOT record until they become critical.
