2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · MD67 BXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on 17 February 2026 at 133,411 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable recently, as the car has passed without any recorded defects for the last three consecutive tests. While previous years showed intermittent issues, the current lack of advisories or failures suggests that the primary mechanical and safety components are presently operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year. There was a significant surge in use between January 2023 and February 2025, where the car covered over 23,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage puts accelerated strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system. The consistent annual mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for long-distance commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the January 2023 test at 89,924 miles flagged uneven wear on both the offside and nearside front tyres. This often indicates worn wisharm bushes or incorrect geometry that may have recurred given the mileage. Additionally, the failure in February 2024 due to excessive exhaust emissions warrants a close look at the engine health. Although the subsequent pass indicates the issue was rectified, high-mileage engines are prone to carbon buildup or failing oxygen sensors which should be monitored during a test drive.
