2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BC18 BUJ

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 June 2025 at 12,919 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids common mechanical or structural failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 1,615 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 6,396 miles, confirming a history of short-distance trips or extended storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings, it introduces specific risks related to age-based degradation of rubber components and potential surface corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sat for long periods. Despite the clean MOT record, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer must check for flat-spotting on tyres and perished rubber seals which often occur when a vehicle remains stationary. The brake system should be inspected for binding calipers or rust-affected rotors that lack of use fails to clear. Additionally, the engine oil and coolant should be verified for moisture contamination, as these fluids degrade over time regardless of the negligible mileage recorded on the odometer.
