2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · CV68 FEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 09 September 2025 at 46,029 miles resulted in a failure due to insufficient washer fluid and a perishing nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified for the pass, the recurring nature of tyre defects suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when they directly threaten the vehicle's MOT status. At eight years old with 46,029 miles recorded, this Fiesta has covered a low average of approximately 5,754 miles per year. This low usage profile is consistent across the records, with only 17,072 miles driven between September 2022 and September 2025. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by repeated advisories regarding perishing tyres in 2022, 2024, and 2025. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and current tyre condition. The record shows low front brake pads and worn discs in September 2022 at 28,957 miles, followed by another low pad advisory in 2023 at 34,903 miles. This frequency suggests the front brakes are being run to the limit of their service life before replacement. Additionally, given the consistent reports of perishing tyres across multiple years, a physical inspection of the sidewalls for cracking on all four tyres is essential to ensure the rubber has not become brittle despite the low mileage.
