2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DA18 WMJ

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 3 November 2025 at 54,271 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 17 December 2024 examination at 51,806 miles and the 3 January 2024 test at 44,066 miles, both also with clean results. The record shows two failure entries logged on the same dates as the eventual passes, yet the DVSA data lists no defects against those failures, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than mechanical rejections. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, with 54,271 miles recorded equating to roughly 6,784 miles per year. The jump from 44,066 miles on 3 January 2024 to 51,806 miles on 17 December 2024 covers about 7,740 miles across eleven months, then only 2,465 miles to the November 2025 test. That tapering suggests lighter recent use. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though the twin failure entries on identical dates and mileages warrant a check of the full DVSA certificate detail. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the low annual use can mask perished rubbers or corroding calipers from standing. The absence of advisories across all tests means no tester flagged exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition issues, but eight years invites latent corrosion on sills and subframes unseen in the record. Given the clean pass at 54,271 miles and no recorded advisories, the vehicle shows signs of basic upkeep rather than deferred consumable neglect. Confirm the two 2024 failure logs were clerical by obtaining the original test certificates before purchase.
