2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DF18 NJZ

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a highly stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 30,866 miles passed cleanly, mirroring the outcomes of all previous annual inspections. This unbroken string of zero-defect passes indicates a vehicle that has consistently met structural and mechanical standards, reflecting diligent preventative maintenance by the previous keeper. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no signs of deterioration or recurring mechanical faults. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the low annual usage typical of a lightly driven urban runabout. Between the 2021 test at 15,270 miles and the 2022 test at 20,746 miles, the car covered 5,476 miles, but subsequent years show a steadier, lower pace of around 3,200 to 3,500 miles annually. This consistent, low-mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has not endured prolonged periods of standing, which can cause brake disc corrosion and tyre flat-spotting, nor has it suffered the accelerated drivetrain wear associated with high-mileage motorway commuting. The data is entirely clean, with no anomalous mileage gaps or sudden spikes. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the specific wear patterns associated with low-mileage vehicles. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and perishing, as the rubber may have hardened before the tread wears down. Short, infrequent journeys often prevent brake components from reaching optimal operating temperatures, so checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for early signs of binding is essential. Suspension bushes and exhaust components also merit scrutiny, as lack of regular use can lead to perishing rubber and internal condensation corrosion rather than the typical wear seen on higher-mileage examples.
