2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU18 KAA

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 5 July 2025 at 87,892 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the full history. A curious pattern appears in the records: on both 5 July 2025 and 11 June 2024 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileages, yet no defects were listed on either failure. This suggests administrative re-entry or documentation error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 64,456 miles at the 10 June 2023 test, rising to 80,884 by 11 June 2024 and 87,892 by 5 July 2025. That equates to roughly 16,000 miles between 2023 and 2024 and only 7,000 over the following year, indicating a slowdown in use. Annual averages land near 11,000 miles, within normal bounds, and no prolonged standing or aggressive accumulation is evident from the data supplied. The clean MOT history leaves no recurring faults, suspension wear, brake defects, or structural corrosion for the buyer to chase. The absence of advisories across three successive annual tests implies the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within limits. A same-day fail/pass with no defects on two occasions points to clerical handling rather than neglected repairs. A physical inspection should still confirm tyre tread depth, brake disc condition, and underbody corrosion given the car's age. The DVSA record offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn bushes, or exhaust issues, but an independent check of suspension joints and emissions remains sound practice before purchase.
