2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DC68 LMJ

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 18,584 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since December 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Recorded mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 10,156 miles on 8 December 2022, rising to 12,337 miles by 7 December 2023, then 17,700 miles on 9 December 2024 and 18,584 miles on 24 November 2025. Annual use averaged roughly 2,300 miles. A failed test on 7 December 2023 at 12,337 miles shows no defects recorded against it, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the same-day pass confirms the car was compliant. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Given the absence of flagged wear, a buyer should still verify in person the condition of suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components or surface corrosion unseen by the annual test. The coil springs and structural underbody should be inspected for rust pitting from intermittent use. Tyres and wiper blades will need a visual check despite no advisories, since eight years of age degrades rubber regardless of miles covered. The history implies a careful keeper who kept the car lightly used and test-compliant, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible on a vehicle of this age.
