2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CV18 JCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 45,501 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior due to electrical and braking issues. The trend shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable components, specifically regarding lighting and brakes, which are consistently addressed only after failing an MOT. This suggests the owner only resolves faults when legally necessary to pass the annual inspection inspection. At eight years old with 45,501 miles recorded, the Fiesta averages a low mileage of approximately 5,688 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, yet the data shows a significant gap in activity. Between June 2023 at 27,464 miles and September 2024 at 36,799 miles, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in fifteen months, followed by a further 8,700 miles in the following year. The low annual mileage can sometimes lead to therelated degradation of rubber components or flat spotting on brake discs and tyres. A buyer must personally inspect the front braking system, as the tester flagged pitted and scored discs in 2025 immediately following thin pads in 2024. The supplementary restraint system warning lamp recorded in the 2025 failure is a critical safety concern that must be verified as cleared and repaired, as it indicates an airbag fault. Additionally, the 2024 failure involving a structural tyre bulge and uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues or suspension geometry wear that require attention. Check all lighting housings for signs of moisture and ensure the previous bulb failures have been permanently rectified.
