2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AX67 FBK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 8 May 2025 at 100,048 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This consistent history of passes suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where faults are addressed before failing. The mileage pattern indicates high annual usage for an eight-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. A significant spike in usage is evident between the March 2024 test at 80,916 miles and the May 2025 test at 100,048 miles, representing nearly 20,000 miles driven in just over fourteen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance or motorway driving, which typically places higher stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to lower-mileage city vehicles. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to high-mileage wear. A buyer must specifically verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these often degrade after eighty thousand miles. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT only tests for functionality rather than overall thickness. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion is also essential to ensure the high mileage has not exposed the vehicle to accelerated rust in salted environments.
