2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MV08 ADX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on January 16, 2026 at 119,988 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the car has moved through its two most recent inspections without any recorded defects. While the history shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent rectification of those issues suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults to maintain legal roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 5,594 miles, while it covered 10,446 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2026 test. This recent increase in usage may accelerate wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension, but the overall figure is well within expected parameters for a Ford Fiesta of this age. A buyer should physically inspect the specific areas that caused the failures in January 2024 and January 2025, as the defect details were not listed in the summary provided. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at structural integrity is essential, specifically the sills and wheel arches, where this model is prone to corrosion. The inspector should also check for perished suspension bushes and signs of binding calipers, as these components frequently trigger MOT failures on vehicles in this mileage and age bracket.
