2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · AE68 SVR

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 28 February 2026 at 43,728 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the full MOT history, with every annual test from April 2023 through February 2026 recording passes and no advisories or mechanical faults. A failed entry appears on the same date as the final pass at 43,728 miles, but the DVSA record shows no defects logged against that failure, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical expectations for an eight-year-old car. The odometer read 25,523 miles at the April 2023 test, rose to 32,542 by March 2024, 38,160 by March 2025, and 43,728 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 5,400 miles per year, confirming light use. No abrupt jumps or stagnant periods appear in the data, and the sparse but consistent record shows no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. Given the absence of any flagged defects across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT history implies previous owners kept basic statutory maintenance current. The low mileage does raise the prospect of prolonged standing periods, which can degrade tyres, brake calipers, and rubber components even without MOT advisories. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake caliper condition, as these areas can develop corrosion or binding unseen during a no-defect test. Verify the tyre sidewalls for age cracking and confirm fluid intervals, since light use often masks deferred consumable servicing not captured by MOT criteria.
