2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YL57 MMJ

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2 February 2026 at 18,241 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last several years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 1,013 miles per year. Between January 2023 and February 2026, the odometer moved only 403 miles, from 17,838 to 18,241. Such minimal usage indicates the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary. While the lack of wear on the drivetrain is a positive, prolonged inactivity often introduces different risks. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. The record shows a failure on 20 January 2025 at 18,120 miles, though the specific defect was not detailed in the provided data. Low-mileage cars frequently suffer from binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to corrosion from standing. Check the tyres for flat spots or perishing and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking. Verify the integrity of the fuel system and check for any signs of chassis corrosion. Vehicles that sit idle are prone to moisture buildup in the exhaust and fuel lines. Given the clean MOT history, there are no recurring structural red flags, but the extreme lack of use means the mechanical health depends more on storage conditions than on wear and tear.
