2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DV18 NEU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 at 79,069 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2026-03-26 at 79,062 miles showed a failure despite no defects being listed, creating an inconsistency in the record. Subsequent tests from 2024 to 2025 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend in the preceding years. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the abrupt failure and pass within 24 hours warrants scrutiny to confirm whether the issue was resolved or misrecorded. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,884 miles annually. The gap between the 2024-01-06 test (68,307 miles) and 2024-04-02 (68,486 miles) reflects minimal usage over three months, while the jump to 72,811 miles by 2025-03-31 shows steady annual growth. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, suggesting consistent operation. The absence of recurring defects in the MOT history implies no systemic mechanical or structural issues, though the sparse data limits deeper analysis of wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as even minor issues can escalate. Structural integrity, including rust on underbody panels or chassis, warrants close attention, as MOT tests do not assess these areas. While the records show no immediate concerns, the recent failed test and lack of defect details advise a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
