2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · EO68 SYZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of reactive ownership regarding consumable components. The most recent test in May 2026 at 89,225 miles passed despite defects involving a damaged nearside rear reflector and two tyres reaching the legal tread limit. While the car continues to pass, the recurring appearance of tyre wear across the last four tests suggests that the previous owner tended to defer replacements until parts reached a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 at 64,405 miles and May 2026 at 89,225 miles, the car covered 24,820 miles in just two years, indicating a recent increase in usage compared to the earlier period where it covered significantly fewer miles per year. This steady accumulation confirms the vehicle has been used regularly for road driving, which places expected stress on the suspension bushings, bushes, and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edge often indicate misalignment issues or worn shock absorbers. The persistent damage to the nearside rear bumper and reflector across multiple years suggests minor cosmetic impacts, but a check should be made for underlying structural damage to the mounting points. Given the mileage and the age, the brake discs and pads should also be inspected for excessive thinning or binding calipers that the standard MOT test might not fully detail.
