Our Verdict
This 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a reassur
When inspecting this Fiesta, examine the tyre tread depths and sidewall conditions across all four corners, as advisories for tyre wear and perishing have appeared repeatedly in the recent MOT history. Check the front inner brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin during the April 2026 test at 37,957 miles. Request any available supplementary service records to verify whether fluid changes and routine maintenance align with the low recorded mileage.
As a 1,084cc petrol variant, this Ford Fiesta should offer competitive fuel economy for daily driving. Insurance groupings for this engine size are typically moderate, making it accessible for a wide range of drivers including younger motorists. Road tax falls into standard petrol vehicle bands, while typical maintenance costs benefit from widespread parts availability.
Estimated annual running costs are projected at £1,100-£1,300, accounting for fuel, standard insurance, VED, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the front inner brake pads noted as wearing thin at the last test. Inspect all four tyres for surface perishing, cracking, and tread depth across the shoulders, addressing the pattern of tyre-related advisories recorded between 2024 and 2026.
While the model's top MOT failure reasons nationally include headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs, no suspension or lighting defects have been recorded in this vehicle's history. Nonetheless, a physical check of the suspension components and lighting units during a test drive remains prudent.
First registered in April 2018 and finished in black, this 1,084cc petrol Ford Fiesta has covered 37,957 miles according to its April 2026 test.

The mileage sits notably below the national average for vehicles of this age, aligning with the model's aggregate data profile.
The Ford Fiesta holds an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.7% across more than 1.5 million vehicles analysed, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs forming the most common failure reasons.
