2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · D13 ACJ

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 37,310 miles recorded no defects, continuing an unbroken pass sequence across all five available MOT entries. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has met statutory standards without escalation of issues. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at roughly 4,664 miles per year. The records show steady, light use: 16,457 miles on 4 May 2022, rising to 18,878 by 20 January 2023, then 25,529 on 29 August 2023, 32,039 on 9 August 2024, and 37,310 by August 2025. The gap between the May 2022 and January 2023 tests covers only 2,421 miles in eight months, while later years average near 6,500 miles. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps beyond normal scheduling emerge from the data. With no recorded defects across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A clean sheet across five tests suggests no recurring wear trends requiring caution. Low mileage does raise the risk of perished rubber components or seized mechanisms from infrequent movement, though the tester flagged none. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake binding given the car's light use. Check tyre sidewall condition and suspension arm bushes for age-related cracking rather than mileage wear. The MOT record alone supports a sound purchase, but dormant periods at low mileage warrant hands-on verification of fluids and flexible joints.
