2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · MW08 TCZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 92,846 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025 followed by successful passes with no recorded defects, the lack of ongoing advisory data suggests that any issues identified by the tester were addressed immediately, indicating a reactive but effective approach to resolving mechanical faults. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,158 miles per year. The data reveals a significant stagnation in usage over recent years; for instance, between May 2023 and June 2024, the car covered fewer than 600 miles. This low-use pattern often suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which can lead to specific age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or fluid de-deterioration despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-wear rather than mileage. Given the age of the Fiesta, perform a thorough check for perished suspension bushes, cracked coil springs, and signs of corrosion on the sills and rear arches. Because the MOT history does not flag recurring structural issues, the priority should be verifying the condition of the brake discs and hoses to ensure the low-mileage has not resulted in surface corrosion or internal failure of the braking system.
