2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · DP67 DZM

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 51,228 miles passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures. This marks five consecutive first-time passes stretching back to February 2022, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults on record. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. Between the February 2022 test at 28,147 miles and the March 2026 test at 51,228 miles, the car covered 23,081 miles over roughly four years, averaging around 5,770 miles annually. This sits slightly below the typical 6,404 miles per year suggested for its age, pointing to light commuter or short-trip use rather than high-mileage motorway work. No unusual gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings appear in the record, and the annual test intervals align with standard yearly MOT cycles. With no defects flagged across five consecutive tests, there are no recurring faults to scrutinise. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake components, or exhaust emissions suggests the car has not suffered from the common wear issues often seen on Fiestas of this generation. The clean record implies attentive previous ownership and no deferred maintenance. Despite the spotless MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection. Check the condition of the tyre tread depth and sidewalls, as tyre wear is a consumable item not always flagged until it becomes critical. Inspect the underside for any fresh corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and the exhaust system, as road salt damage can develop between test dates. Test the brakes for any signs of binding or uneven wear, and verify that all lights, wipers, and washers function correctly. A short road test will confirm the clutch, gearbox, and steering alignment remain smooth and free of play.
