2018 Ford Fiesta Active X Turbo 1.0L Other · KGZ 8717

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 October 2024 at 39,856 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a clean record from the previous two years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operating parameters without any signs of recurring failure or deferred safety repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between the September 2022 test at 27,656 miles and the October 2023 test at 8,586 miles, which suggests a potential discrepancy in recording or a long period of inactivity. If the odometer readings are accurate, the car saw minimal use between 2022 and 2023, though the low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher-average examples. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear. Inspect the vehicle for dry or cracked rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and perish boots, which can degrade through age regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer from seized calipers if the brakes are not used frequently. Verify the tyre age and sidew cracking, as the tread depth may be sufficient while the rubber compound has reached its structural limit.
