2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AF68 NLM

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 May 2025 at 34,723 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of four consecutive annual passes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVLA history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test cycle. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low across the eight-year lifespan. The record shows 23,120 miles at the 28 April 2022 test, rising to 26,840 by 5 May 2023, 30,792 by 4 May 2024, and 34,723 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,900 to 4,000 miles added each year. The sparse but clean data gives no sign of neglected intervals or sudden high-use spikes; the prior keeper clearly ran the car on a light annual basis. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the fault-free record. Low mileage combined with four years of standing or short trips can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, subframes, and sills even when the tester records no active rust. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have aged through time rather than wear, so check for cracking or perishing rubber. Verify the service history matches the low annual use and confirm brake calipers are not seizing from disuse. The MOT gives no cause for rejection, but a pre-purchase check of structural integrity underneath remains sound practice on any eight-year-old vehicle.
