Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a modern, low-mileage hatchback. The MOT history is largely clean, showing a consistent pattern of passing tests with minimal issues.
When inspecting this specific grey Fiesta, verify the service history to complement the MOT records. While the MOTs show no recent defects, the 1.0L EcoBoost engine requires strict adherence to oil change intervals to maintain health.
Negotiate based on the fact that the mileage is lower than the typical high-mileage examples often seen in this model's aggregate data. Ensure you check the tyre tread and brake pad life, as these are common areas for maintenance requirements in the wider Fiesta model range.
With a 1084cc petrol engine, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency and typically falls into a lower insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback, making it suitable for both urban and motorway driving.
Annual running costs will be influenced by your driving habits, but typical maintenance for this engine size includes routine oil changes, filter replacements, and tyre upkeep. Expect moderate servicing costs consistent with a small-capacity petrol Ford.
Given the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and tyre condition during your physical inspection. Although this specific vehicle has had no recent defects recorded, these are the most frequent failure points for the Fiesta model across 1.5 million analysed vehicles.
Check the tyres for uneven wear and ensure the exhaust system is free from excessive corrosion. Since the last MOT failure occurred in 2023, confirm that any issues identified at that time were fully rectified and that no new advisories have appeared in the 2025 test.
This 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol presents with 45,591 miles on the clock, which is relatively low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent two years showing no defects recorded. While there was a single failure in September 2023 at 37,079 miles, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record since.
Aggregate data from over 1.5 million vehicles shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures related to lighting, exhaust, and tyres.
