2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BP67 AEC

The 2018 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-05 confirms it remains roadworthy at 64,711 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive annual tests. This consistency suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and maintenance, as evidenced by the absence of recurring failures or advisories over nearly four years. The final pass date is just seven months old, placing it well within the acceptable window for a used-car purchase, though a pre-purchase inspection is still essential to verify condition beyond the MOT’s scope. The mileage progression of roughly 8,000 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage at each test—36,976 in 2022, 45,869 in 2023, 57,099 in 2024, and 64,711 in 2025—indicates steady accumulation without unusual gaps. The duplicate entry for December 2022, showing both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were logged. Given the lack of advisories or failures in the MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear components that fall outside the MOT’s scope, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering rack seals. The absence of brake-related advisories does not preclude binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or corrosion on brake hardware, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Additionally, a thorough examination of the underbody for structural rust—common in Fiesta models—alongside fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and tyre condition (tread depth, sidewall integrity) is advisable. The clean MOT record implies no major mechanical neglect, but these areas demand closer scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability.
