2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · ET67 RJZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2024 at 55,970 miles. While it failed the test on that same day due to multiple rear lighting defects involving the stop and position lamps, these were minor electrical issues rectified to achieve a pass. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no records of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion-related advisories in the recent testing history. At 55,970 miles over eight years, the Fiesta averages approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national usage for a small hatchback. There is a notable two-year gap between the July 2022 test at 35,837 miles and the August 2024 test, during which the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles. This rate of accumulation suggests the car was used regularly during that period, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components compared to a vehicle that sits stationary. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres and brakes, as the records from 2021 and 2022 highlight recurring issues with perishing, cracking, and cuts across multiple axles. The 2021 test specifically flagged thin front pads and worn discs, indicating that the braking system reaches the end of its service life at these intervals. Since the last MOT, a physical inspection of the current tread depth and the sidew condition of the tyres is necessary to ensure the previous owner replaced these consumable components rather than letting them deteriorate.
