2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MW08 XKM

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 65,122 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a streak of perfect passes over the last five years. This lack of recorded failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from significant mechanical or structural degradation during its recent operation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,618 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 15,531 miles, maintaining a consistent low-usage trend of roughly 3,800 miles annually. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, it often increases the risk associated with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown during long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean digital history, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to time rather than just travel distance. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and sidewalls, which can perish or crack regardless of miles driven. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion in the sills and wing mounting points is essential, as the MOT only identifies rust once it has reached a hazardous threshold.
