2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · PL08 LUO

The roadworthiness status of this Ford Fiesta is generally stable based on the most recent MOT examination conducted on 2024-08-30 at 100,797 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean pass on 2023-09-02, although that date also initially saw a failure record that was promptly rectified on the same day. An identical pattern occurred on 2022-03-14, where an initial failure was immediately overturned by a pass later that same afternoon. The absence of logged failure details in the digital record suggests administrative rectifications or minor adjustments rather than major component replacements during those test events. The vehicle has accumulated 100,797 miles across its eighteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year, which indicates lower than average annual usage. The data reveals distinct operational gaps between test dates, transitioning from the March 2022 test to a September 2023 test, and subsequently to an August 2024 test. This extended testing cadence means the car has experienced periods of lighter use or potentially standing idle between annual certifications. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on consumable components that degrade during periods of low usage or age, particularly brake discs and calipers for potential corrosion or binding. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural members beneath the floorpan also require close examination on a vehicle of this age to identify any age-related degradation or rust. The recent record is relatively clean, but verifying the condition of the underbody and running gear during a pre-purchase physical examination remains essential.
