2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · AX18 LWS

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 32,539 miles which returned with no defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where recurring issues were noted. The transition to a clean sheet suggests the current owner has addressed outstanding mechanical concerns. The mileage profile reflects a very low-useage history, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 10,393 miles showing a consistent pattern of low annual mileage. However, the long intervals between tests and the low mileage suggest the car may sit stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must focus on the condition of the tyres and rubber components. The records from 2022, 2023, and 2024 consistently flagged cracking and perishing across all four tyres. While the 2026 test showed no defects, the age of the vehicle makes it prone to dry rot on sidewalls. Inspect the tyre manufacture dates and check for fine-line cracking, as low mileage does not prevent rubber from hardening over time. The inspection should also cover the brake discs for surface corrosion, which occurs frequently on vehicles that are not driven long distances. Check the suspension bushes for cracks or tearing, as these can perish through age regardless of mileage. The overall history shows no structural failures, but a physical check of the chassis remains necessary to identify hidden corrosion in the sills or wheel arches.
