2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DA03 RCA

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 August 2025 at 60,944 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the previous keeper addressed requirements before each annual test. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 42,834 miles at the 25 August 2022 test, rising to 48,497 miles by 26 August 2023, 54,511 miles on 1 August 2024, and 60,944 miles on 2 August 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year across the logged period, below the 7,618-mile average and pointing to gentle use. The history is sparse in faults but clean throughout, with only a duplicate 26 August 2023 entry showing a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage and no defects listed, likely an administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were never flagged, yet eight years of use can conceal incipient rust on sills and suspension mounts that a tester overlooked. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or uneven wear leaves no MOT trace until it breaches limits. Verify the 26 August 2023 anomaly with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the low, steady mileage and clean passes suggest a lightly used car with basic upkeep met, though pre-purchase checks on structural integrity and consumables remain sensible.
