2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · OV58 AEA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 113,019 miles with no defects recorded, indicating that any prior issues have been rectified. The trend over the last decade shows occasional minor faults but no persistent structural failures, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern after the drive‑shaft bearing was replaced between the 23 and 24 September 2025 tests. Mileage has increased steadily from 61,914 miles in 2015 to 113,019 miles in 2025, an average of roughly 6,279 miles per year over 18 years. The annual mileage rose from about 7,800 miles per year between 2015 and 2019 to around 4,700 miles per year in the last five years, indicating a reduction in usage but no abrupt spikes or gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should examine the front wheel bearings and drive‑shaft assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted excessive wear. Inspect both front and rear wheel rims for distortion and confirm tyre tread depth is above the 1.6 mm legal minimum; the 2020 test flagged a cut tyre and distorted rims. Verify headlamp aim and rear stop lamp functionality, which failed in 2022 and 2021 respectively, and confirm the brake discs and pads are within wear limits, even though no recent defects were recorded. Given the vehicle’s age, routine checks of suspension bushes, coil springs and structural rust are advisable, as these components are common wear points in a model of this vintage. Overall, the MOT history suggests the car has been maintained in a reasonable state, but a thorough mechanical inspection will confirm the condition of the highlighted components.
