2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MV08 ACX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta shows a passed MOT from 25 October 2021 at 84,308 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with each eventual pass clearing the test after a same-day or next-day failure that logged no defects. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. The odometer climbed from 69,515 miles at the 2 October 2019 test to 78,401 miles by 21 October 2020, then to 84,308 miles by 25 October 2021. That equates to roughly 4,600 miles per year, well below typical averages for an eighteen-year-old car. The low annual accumulation points to light use or extended periods off the road, though the record shows no tests between October 2021 and today, leaving the current condition unverified for nearly five years. No advisories or failures cite suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. The two failed tests in October 2020 and October 2021 recorded zero defects, implying the car was presented without fault yet initially rejected, possibly for documentation or plate anomalies. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear, as standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components, seized calipers, and subframe rust unseen by a clean MOT sheet. Given the stale test history and absent recent data, treat the 84,308-mile figure as the last known reading rather than current. Verify the actual mileage, check for outstanding recalls, and examine the underside for moisture-driven corrosion before purchase.
