2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AF18 AWR

The Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following the March 2026 test cycle, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The most recent pass occurred on 19 March 2026 at 112,145 miles with no defects recorded. A failed test on the same date at identical mileage but no listed defects suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was subsequently certified roadworthy that day. Mileage stands at 112,145 miles against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 14,018 miles per year, which is high for a supermini of this class. The records show steady annual accumulation: 77,009 miles at the March 2023 test, 91,947 by March 2024, 102,184 by March 2025, and 112,145 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear; the prior owner covered consistent motorway or commuter distances, which loads drivetrain and suspension components harder than low-mileage urban use. The DVSA data flags no advisories or defects across any entry, so no recurring wear pattern emerges for brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion. Clean sheets at every annual test imply the vehicle received at least minimum compliant upkeep, though absence of advisories does not confirm underlying condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake discs, suspension arms, and underbody structural integrity given the high mileage. Verify the March 2026 failure cause with DVSA, as the blank defect field offers no technical explanation for the rejected certificate.
