2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BD68 AMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to reactive maintenance. While the car passed its 2022 through 2024 tests without any defects, the May 19 2025 test at 58,643 miles revealed three minor faults. The appearance of pitted and scored brake discs along with a failing offside front fog lamp suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where consumable components require more frequent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. There is a notable increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered 15,685 miles in a single year, compared to the much lower usage of only 1,632 miles between November 2021 and May 2022. This spike suggests the vehicle has recently been used much more intensively, which likely explains the surface wear observed on the braking system in the latest MOT. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The pitting and scoring noted in May 2025 indicate that the discs have likely suffered from corrosion or abrasive wear, which can lead to vibration or reduced performance if not replaced. Verify the thickness of the brake pads and ensure the calipers are not sticking or binding. Since the record shows no historical structural corrosion or suspension defects in previous years, the chassis appears sound, but the electrical fog lamp must be checked or replaced to ensure full compliance with the next test.
