2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RK58 UBA

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred consumable maintenance. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 141,214 miles resulted in a pass, it identified both rear tyres as reaching low tread depths. This follows a relatively clean period in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that while the core mechanical components remained stable, basic upkeep items are now requiring immediate attention. At 18 years old, this de-registered Ford Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,845 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with a 7,335-mile interval between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 7,360 miles in the following twelve months. This steady activity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and suspension components to prevent seizing or corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and geometry, as the 2023 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn on the edge, indicating potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2021 record also noted an offside drive shaft bearing noise and splitting rear tyres, which should be re-checked to ensure these issues were rectified rather than nearing failure. Given the age of the car, a thorough check for structural integrity along the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail deep corrosion despite the high mileage.
