2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BO67 ACE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of neglected consumables due to low usage. The most recent test on January 27, 2026 at 13,199 miles flagged pitted front brake discs and perishing sidewalls on all four tyres. While the car passes, the recurring nature of these advisories indicates that the previous owner waited for the MOT test to identify necessary repairs rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,650 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 8,560 miles and January 2026 at 13,199 miles, the car covered just 4,639 miles. This rate of use suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which explains the persistent degradation of rubber components and the development of surface surface corrosion/pitting on the metal brake components despite the lack of significant mechanical mileage wear. A buyer must inspect the physical condition of the tyres, as the record shows cracking and perishing across every test since 2022; even with deep tread remaining, the rubber is likely structurally compromised from age. The front brake discs also require close attention as the pitting noted in 2023 persisted into 2026, suggesting the calipers may be seizing or inactive due to disuse. Check for seized brake seals and perished rubber bushings, which often affect vehicles that remain stationary for months between trips.
