2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · ML08 AYH

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of mechanical inconsistency. Since the most recent test on June 4, 2025 at 125,355 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a clean sheet for two consecutive years. This shift from multiple failures to a clean pass indicates that the issues encountered in mid-2023 were successfully rectified and that the vehicle has maintained consistent operational standards over the last twenty four months. At 125,355 miles over 18 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 6,800 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for extended periods, which often prevents the premature degradation of rubber components and fluid-related systems. The buyer should focus on the two failures recorded in June 2023 at 113,605 and 113,620 miles. While the provided record does not list the specific defect codes for those failures, the double failure occurring within four days suggests a significant mechanical or safety component that required immediate attention. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should prioritize checking the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Checking for signs of binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear is advisable to ensure the recent clean MOT results reflect well-maintained braking hardware.
