2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NG08 RXB

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a significant gap in documented testing spanning nearly five years. The last recorded test on 31 August 2021 at 96,430 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed, which suggests an administrative anomaly or a major mechanical failure that prevented further testing. Since that entry in late 2021, the car has not undergone a formal MOT test according to the provided data, making it impossible to verify the current state of its structural integrity or safety components without a fresh physical inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,357 miles per year. Between August 2018 and August 2020, the car covered 8,649 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. However, the interval of only 1,667 miles between the August and August 2020 tests suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Low-mileage cars of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber components, such as perished perished, seized brake calipers, and fluid corrosion, rather than typical mechanical tear from driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting for structural rust, which is a common failure point for this generation of Fiesta. The lack of recent data means the condition of the brake lines, tyre age-related cracking, and the exhaust system is entirely unknown. Given the 2021 failure and the subsequent lack of testing, the priority is identifying any signs of fluid leaks or perished hoses that frequently occur when a vehicle remains stationary for long intervals.
