2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DC18 DGE

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following the most recent pass on 20 February 2026 at 24,146 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The February 2026 test logged a fail on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirrored by a fail on 11 March 2025 at 20,878 miles and a pass later that day at 20,882 miles; these are administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or defects appear on any certificate from 2024 through 2026. The odometer shows 18,709 miles at the June 2024 test, rising to 20,882 by March 2025 and 24,146 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year, well below typical for an eight-year-old supermini. Low annual use suggests gentle running or extended stationary periods, though the sparse record gives little insight into consumable turnover between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely intermittent use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake calipers even when the MOT shows clean. The absence of advisories means no tester flagged worn tyres or exhaust issues, but pre-sale checks on underbody rust and fluid condition remain prudent. The duplicated fail and pass entries on single dates indicate clerical re-submissions, not recurring mechanical defects. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing without lapse, yet the minimal mileage means in-person verification of rubber components and battery health is warranted before purchase.
