2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AJ67 LBA

The 2018 Ford Fiesta holds a current MOT status as of the test on 4 February 2026, where it passed with no advisories or defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the documented history is stable, with passes recorded annually between 2023 and 2026. The single failure occurred on 5 February 2025, but this was immediately followed by a pass on the same date, indicating the issue was rectified and the vehicle returned to roadworthy condition without delay. The most recent two tests (2025 and 2026) both returned clean results, which suggests no ongoing mechanical deterioration flagged at the time of examination. The mileage trajectory over the five recorded tests reflects typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The annual accumulation rate sits broadly in line with average driving patterns, neither indicating heavy commercial use nor extended periods of standing. A clean record without mileage irregularities suggests the odometer readings have been consistently logged without gaps or anomalies. Five tests at consistent intervals provide a reasonable chronological baseline, though the absence of advisory notes across all entries means there is limited insight into gradual wear patterns that may be developing. Buyers should still arrange an independent physical inspection, as MOT records only confirm compliance on the day of testing. Items commonly prone to wear on a Fiesta of this age and mileage include the front suspension components, particularly the wishbone bushes and front coil springs, which can deteriorate without immediately triggering a failure. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, especially given the higher annual mileage relative to a lightly used example. The dual-mass flywheel and clutch operation warrant assessment on a test drive, along with the condition of the rear axle beam for any signs of structural corrosion, an area historically monitored on this model. A pre-purchase inspection at a reputable garage remains the most reliable way to identify issues beyond the scope of the MOT database.
