2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU18 KKP

The maintenance trend for this 2018 Ford Fiesta remains entirely stable, reflecting a vehicle that has required no mechanical or structural remediation throughout its recorded history. The most recent MOT test on 19 May 2025 at 17,142 miles passed with zero defects, confirming a sound state of roadworthiness. Curiously, the record also shows a failed test logged on the exact same date and mileage with no defects recorded, which typically indicates an aborted initial test or a same-day retest where the original fault was rectified before the final pass was issued. Regardless of this administrative anomaly, the absence of any advisories or failures across the entire dataset demonstrates a consistent lack of deterioration. The vehicle mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging just over 2,100 miles annually. Between the 2022 test on 8 February at 10,665 miles and the 2023 test on 17 May at 13,398 miles, the Fiesta covered 2,733 miles in just over a year. The subsequent year saw a similar pace, adding 2,174 miles by the 30 April 2024 test at 14,572 miles. However, the mileage then plateaued entirely, recording the exact same 17,142 miles for both the failed and passed tests on 19 May 2025. This sudden halt in accumulation over the last twelve months suggests the car has either been standing unused or driven only very sparingly. Despite the pristine MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues typical of low-mileage, older vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Tyre sidewall cracking and perishing are highly likely given the age of the rubber and the minimal annual mileage, meaning tread depth alone will not reveal deterioration. Brake discs and calipers require close examination for surface corrosion and binding, as infrequent use prevents pads from wiping rust from the discs. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers may also have deteriorated from lack of movement rather than wear. Finally, check the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion and verify the condition of the cambelt, as prolonged idling and short trips accelerate component degradation without adding meaningful mileage.
