2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SC08 KHA

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until July 2026, following a successful test on July 23, 2024, at 82,726 miles. The record shows a stable trend of compliance, though the immediate failure on July 22, 2024, preceding the pass the following day suggests a minor administrative or rectifiable issue was addressed promptly. The absence of recorded advisories across the last three years indicates that inspectors identified no immediate mechanical or structural concerns during these specific test windows. This Ford Fiesta has covered 82,726 miles over its 18-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,596 miles per year. This low annual usage pattern is consistent across the provided history, with no evidence of significant mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would typically lead to seized brake components or perished rubber seals. The data remains sparse regarding long-term component degradation, as the recent records lack the detailed advisory notes that often highlight developing wear in suspension bushes or exhaust systems. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not fully captured by the MOT testing process. Despite the clean record, an 18-year-old vehicle of this type remains susceptible to structural corrosion in the sills and floor pans, which requires a thorough check under the vehicle. You should also verify the condition of consumable items such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, as the MOT only confirms they meet the minimum legal threshold at the time of testing. Given the age of the vehicle, confirm the replacement status of the timing belt, as this is a critical maintenance item that does not appear in the MOT data. Buying score: 68. Risk level: Low.
