2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AF18 XGT

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 68,557 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show no advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle has cleared every successful examination without flagged wear to suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation has been irregular rather than linear. The car sat at 23,224 miles in April 2023, rose to 29,524 by April 2024, then jumped to 43,032 miles by April 2025, and reached 68,557 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 25,500 miles added in the final twelve months versus under 7,000 per year previously. The April 2025 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same date at 43,032 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT lineage, no recurring corrosion, binding calipers, or worn coil springs appear in the record. The absence of advisories across five years suggests previous owners addressed consumables before test. A buyer should still verify in person that the recent high-mileage year has not accelerated clutch wear, drivetrain fatigue, or tyre degradation beyond what the tester noted. Physical inspection should focus on underbody structural condition and suspension components given the sharp usage increase since 2025. Confirm brake disc thickness and caliper operation after the extended motorway-style mileage. The record implies competent upkeep, but the sudden accumulation warrants a hands-on check of items the MOT does not measure.
