2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · BD18 OUA

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 52,022 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a failure in May 2024. While the car previously required attention to consumables, the subsequent two tests indicate that the owner has addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 33,222 miles and the May 2024 test at 38,623 miles, the car covered 5,400 miles. A more recent interval of 8,399 miles occurred between the 2024 and 2026 tests. This suggests regular, light usage which typically prevents premature degradation of mechanical components compared to vehicles with high-annual mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and tyres, as the May 2024 failure flagged all four brake pads as wearing thin. Although the vehicle passed since without defects, the previous uniform wear of pads suggests the components may be nearing the end of their service life. The nearside front outer tyre was also noted for uneven wear and low depth at 1.8mm, indicating a potential alignment issue or incorrect inflation that should be verified on the current tyres to ensure the pattern no longer persists. The door mirror indicator that caused the failure in 2024 has been rectified, but a functional check of all lighting elements remains advisable. Given the lack of advisories regarding structural corrosion or suspension components in the history, the focus should remain on the state of wear items. The clean record from the last two tests suggests a vehicle that is currently being looked after regarding basic requirements.
