2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · PL08 LZX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 23 September 2025 at 90,711 miles. The recent history shows a stable trend, with four consecutive passes recorded since the failure on 21 September 2022. While the 2022 failure initially suggests a mechanical issue, the lack of recorded defects for that test indicates a potential administrative error or an immediate rectification that bypassed the formal defect logging system. Accumulating approximately 5,040 miles annually over its eighteen-year lifespan, the vehicle shows a consistently low usage pattern. The mileage progression remains linear and predictable across the provided test dates, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic spikes in annual distance. This low-mileage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age, though it does not provide insight into the frequency of oil changes or other essential mechanical servicing outside the scope of the annual test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as corrosion is a common issue for Ford models of this vintage. Despite the clean recent test record, rubber components such as suspension bushes, CV gaiters, and engine mounts are likely original and prone to perishing due to age rather than mileage. Inspect the brake lines for surface oxidation and verify that the parking brake mechanism operates effectively, as these items often escape notice until they reach a critical state of degradation.
