2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DG68 AAF

The 2018 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy with no critical failures in its most recent 2026-06-24 MOT at 59,367 miles, though brake wear shows a consistent trend. Front brake disc thickness fell within acceptable limits (1.1.14 (a) (i)), but prior tests reveal progressive degradation: rear discs were pitted in 2025 (1.1.14 (a) (ii)), and both front and rear pads were thin in 2023 (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). No new structural or emission issues arose, suggesting maintenance has kept pace with normal wear. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,421 miles annually over eight years. The MOT record shows regular testing with no gaps exceeding 12 months, except for a 12-month interval between 2024-07-10 (44,428 miles) and 2025-07-14 (53,679 miles). This suggests consistent monitoring, though the 2025 test noted front tyres nearing legal limits (5.2.3 (e)), indicating potential neglect in tyre maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting brake components for excessive wear, particularly rear discs and pads, given repeated advisories. Suspension bushes and coil springs may require scrutiny if there’s uneven tyre wear or handling issues. Corrosion checks on the exhaust system and underbody are prudent, as no rust-related defects were recorded but could develop. The vehicle’s mechanical history shows no severe faults, but proactive maintenance on brakes and tyres remains essential.
