2018 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 November 2025 at 78,904 miles, showing a clean pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a positive shift in maintenance standards compared to the previous year, where the vehicle required rectification for an anti-roll bar linkage issue. The overall trend suggests the car has moved past a period of neglectful upkeep and is now being presented for testing in a more prepared condition. The recorded mileage of 78,904 miles over eight years averages approximately 9,860 miles annually, which aligns with standard usage patterns for this model. A notable surge in usage occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered over 18,000 miles in twelve months, significantly higher than its earlier years. This rapid accumulation likely accelerated the wear on suspension components and tyres observed during that period. The history remains consistent, with no unexplained gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that would suggest potential issues with seized brakes or battery degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking systems, given the recurring advisories for tyre wear and disc condition. While the most recent test was clean, the history of tyre-related failures in 2021 and 2023 indicates a pattern of running consumables to their absolute limit. Check the inner and outer edges of the current front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this often points to lingering alignment issues not captured by the test. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake discs, as the 2022 advisory for pitting suggests they may be nearing the end of their service life if they have not been replaced since that time.
