2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · EO68 KZP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 108,796 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure was recorded in July 2024, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per annum. There is a significant increase in usage between August 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation continued into the following year, with another 14,692 miles logged between July 2024 and July 2025. Such high-mileage operation puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and cooling-related hardware. Given the high mileage, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of wear or fatigue at these intervals. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests is encouraging, but the buyer should still inspect the brake discs for thinning and check for binding calipers. Check for structural corrosion on the underbody and sills, as high-mileage motorway use can accelerate the degradation of protective coatings due to salt and debris.
