2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AF18 AEJ

This Ford Fiesta is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 22,043 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is remarkably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,755 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing from 13,002 miles in March 2023 to 22,043 miles by March 2026. While the record shows a failure and a pass on the same day in March 2024 at 15,837 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from stagnation rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur when a car sits idle. Brake calipers should be checked for sticking or binding, and the engine oil should be inspected for signs of moisture or degradation caused by infrequent use. The absence of any recurring advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity is a positive indicator. Given the clean DVSA record, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on consumables that degrade with age regardless of distance travelled. Checking the battery health and fluid levels will confirm if the low mileage was matched by diligent preventative maintenance.
