2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DF18 DHK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 35,639 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car remains in good condition. This follows a period of consistent passes in previous years, suggesting that the primary mechanical and safety components have been maintained within acceptable parameters over the last several years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,455 miles per year. There is a visible jump in usage between March 2022 at 8,223 miles and April 2023 at 18,460 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed again, with roughly 7,200 miles covered over the subsequent two years. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage operation. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, the long intervals between uses can lead to brake caliper seizing or corrosion on the brake discs despite the low mileage. The single failure in April 2023 at 18,452 miles was rectified immediately as the vehicle passed later on the same day, but an inspector should check the tyres for cracks in the sidewalls and look for perished suspension bushes, as age-related degradation often occurs before mileage-related wear on vehicles of this vintage.
