2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HG18 ABK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 26,241 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently in good mechanical condition. This follows three consecutive years of clean results, suggesting that the vehicle has not been subjected to significant mechanical stress or neglected upkeep in its recent history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,280 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 12,380 miles and the 2026 test at 26,241 miles, the car covered only 13,861 miles. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components, the engine, and the suspension assembly. However, the long intervals between miles can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on specific areas common to low-mileage vehicles. The only recorded irregularity occurred in April 2022 when the tester flagged slightly loose headlamps at 16,117 miles; while this was a minor adjustment issue, it warrants checking that light assemblies remain securely fastened. Given the low mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as lack of use can prevent calipers from operating effectively. Additionally, check the tyres for sidewall cracking, as rubber often ages out faster than the tread wears down on rarely-driven cars.
