2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NJ58 TZM

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 104,936 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without technical faults over the last three years, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is notably low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 5,830 miles per year. Between 21 July 2023 and 4 August 2025, the odometer increased from 94,623 to 104,936 miles. This steady accumulation of approximately 10,300 miles over two years indicates the car is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding technical failures. While the record shows failures on 6 July 2023 and 9 August 2024, the lack of recorded defects for those specific failures suggests they may have been administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust, which are common failure points for Fiestas of this vintage. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the rubber seals and tyres. Low-mileage older vehicles often hide perished components that do not trigger an MOT failure but affect long-term reliability. Verifying the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and not comprehensive mechanical health.
