2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · SD08 SYX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 1 May 2024 at 106,429 miles returned a pass with no advisories recorded, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that point. Prior tests in 2021, 2020 and 2019 also passed cleanly, showing no worsening mechanical pattern across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 106,429 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,913 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests light use or periods of storage. The gap between the July 2019 test at 91,817 miles and the September 2021 test at 94,247 miles shows only 2,430 miles covered in just over two years. A further 12,182 miles were added by May 2024, indicating slightly increased but still modest use. The DVSA data is sparse, with a single failed entry on 10 June 2020 at 93,904 miles carrying no listed defects, implying an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories appear across any test, so the record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc condition given the vehicle's age. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber mounts and seized calipers from standing. The clean MOT history implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no proof of proactive maintenance. Verify service receipts and check for intermittent faults not captured in annual testing before purchase.
