2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NU18 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 10 February 2026 at 27,746 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the final pass result with no recorded defects indicates that any previous issues were rectified prior to the current certificate. The maintenance trend suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures to ensure the vehicle remains legal, rather than allowing it to operate with known mechanical or structural faults. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,468 miles annually. Between the February 2024 test at 21,935 miles and the February 2026 test at 27,746 miles, the car covered only 5,811 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related decay rather than mileage wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on low-use vehicles. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these dry out over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the recorded failures in 2025 and 2026 that did not list specific defects in the summary, verify that the actual reasons for those failures were simple consumable items like bulbs or wiper blade adjustments rather than deeper mechanical issues.
