2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YS08 CVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on November 26 2025 at 72,884 miles failed due to a non-functional stop lamp and both front tyres being below the legal tread limit. While it passed the following day after immediate repairs, the presence of worn front brake discs as an advisory indicates that the owner is only addressing components once they reach a failure point rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,884 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, showing a gap of roughly 4,800 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion, which is evidenced by the corroded offside rear brake pipe noted in November 2022 at 62,355 miles. A buyer must prioritize close inspection of the braking system and underbody. The brake pipe corrosion flagged in 2022 suggests the vehicle is susceptible to environmental damage, necessitating a thorough check for further rust along the hydraulic lines and structural mounts. Given the recurring issues with tyre wear patterns in 2024 and 2025, the suspension geometry should be verified for uneven wear which could indicate worn bushes or faulty alignment. The front brake discs mentioned in the late 2025 test require measurement for thickness to ensure adequate stopping performance.
