Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for a budget city ca
When inspecting this vehicle, verify that the repairs following the February 2022 MOT failure—specifically the nearside front drive shaft CV boot and the track rod end—were completed with quality parts. Request any available invoices for these specific repairs to ensure they were not just 'patched' to pass the test.
Given the age of the vehicle, check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine size. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any remaining advisories that may have cropped up since the last recorded test.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low annual road tax and affordable insurance premiums due to its low power output. Fuel economy should be competitive for a petrol car of this era, making it an economical choice for short commutes.
Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are generally low due to the widespread availability of parts. However, as a 2008 model, buyers should budget for the replacement of ageing rubber components and suspension bushings. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Pay close attention to the steering and suspension. The February 2022 failure noted a split CV boot and excessive play in the track rod end; ensure there is no current clicking noise when turning the wheel at low speeds. Additionally, reference the November 2021 advisory regarding worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes; check for any knocking sounds from the rear of the car when driving over bumps.
Inspect the electrical system, specifically the headlamps, as a bulb failure was noted in 2022. Finally, check the interior for the security of the rear sound deadening material, which was flagged as not fully secure in 2021.
This blue 2008 Ford Fiesta Style 82 has recorded 86,798 miles as of its last MOT in December 2023. The vehicle's history shows a period of stability with the two most recent tests passed without any defects. While there was a failure in early 2022, the mileage remains consistent with the average for this model.
Based on aggregate data for this variant, the model has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 85.2%.
