2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · BD68 WDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 at 112,114 miles. The maintenance trend is inconsistent. While the car passed without defects in December 2025, it only did so after failing four days earlier on 12 December 2025. That failure highlighted a significant cluster of issues, including high exhaust hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions, thin front brake pads, and pitted front brake discs. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. There was a particularly rapid increase in usage between May 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer climbed from 84,893 to 112,114 miles in roughly 19 months. This accelerated wear explains the frequent appearance of consumable failures in the record. A buyer should closely examine the braking system and engine health. The record shows a recurring pattern of thin front brake pads, flagged in June 2022, May 2024, and again in December 2025. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. The December 2025 emissions failure is a primary concern, as it indicates potential issues with the fuel system, ignition, or catalytic converter that may resurface. The wheels and tyres also require a physical check. The tester flagged a distorted nearside rear road wheel in June 2023 and May 2024. Frequent tyre wear on the front edges, noted in June 2022 and December 2025, suggests the vehicle may have alignment or suspension geometry issues. Verify that the wheel distortion was permanently corrected and that the current tyre tread is even across the width.
