FORD FIESTA2018 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean current MOT status. The most recent test conducted on 31 March 2026 at 28,055 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in March 2025, the issue was rectified immediately to allow a pass one mile later, suggesting that the owner is responsive to necessary maintenance requirements when faults are identified. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 15,586 miles and March 2026 at 28,055 miles, the car covered only 12,469 miles over three years. This low-frequency usage typically implies less strain on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension components. However, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake surfaces and exhaust systems which are not always captured by a standard MOT test alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage sitting. Check for surface rust on the brake discs and seized calipers, as these often seize when vehicles are driven infrequently. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perished rubber, and check for any fluid leaks around the suspension bushings. Given the clean history showing no history of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, the primary risks are age-related degradation of perish rather than wear-and-tear from high mileage.
