2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EU68 NWR

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 28,090 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since 2021. Annual mileage has stayed consistently low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 12,741 miles in December 2021, rising to 16,440 by December 2022, 20,418 in December 2023, 24,431 in December 2024, and 28,090 in December 2025. That equates to roughly 3,500 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse, fault-free history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs, though long stationary periods between short trips can still encourage perished rubber and flat-spotted tyres unseen by the tester. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's low-use profile. Standing time accelerates corrosion on structural members and exhaust hangers even when the MOT shows no advisories. Check the condition of tyres for sidewall cracking and verify the braking system for any seized calipers after prolonged inactivity. The clean MOT ledger implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, but the absence of recorded advisories means wear items were likely within limits rather than renewed. Treat the low mileage as a reason to scrutinise dormant-component condition, not as a guarantee of fresh mechanicals.
