2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU68 YHO

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 25,087 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every MOT since the first entry in March 2022 has passed cleanly, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle shows no worsening condition and no recurring defects across the recorded history. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 18,714 miles on 19 March 2022, rising to 18,722 by 27 September 2022, then 20,645 in September 2023, 23,095 in September 2024, and 25,087 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,100 miles per year. The near-static reading between March and September 2022 suggests a period of minimal use, likely short urban trips or extended standing. Low annual mileage of this pattern often limits wear on consumables but can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unnoticed. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and structural underbody points were not flagged, yet standing time raises the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres. We recommend a close check of brake function after prolonged idle, inspection of subframe and sills for corrosion, and verification of tyre sidewall condition given the car's low movement profile. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Fiesta to a basic pass standard with no deferred repairs noted. The sparse, defect-free record implies light use rather than neglected high mileage. A pre-purchase check should still confirm cambelt interval history and fluid condition, as low mileage alone does not preserve elastomers or lubricants indefinitely.
