2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EU68 OOG

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 November 2025 at 57,340 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 1 December 2022 at 20,575 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle passing four days later on 5 December 2022 at 20,604 miles. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,168 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show low early use, with only 20,604 miles by December 2022, then a sharp rise to 40,902 miles by November 2024 and 57,340 miles by November 2025, equating to around 16,000 to 17,000 miles per year over the last two periods. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns ever flagged across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age, despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories on coil springs, binding calipers, or tyre tread wear points to reasonable upkeep by previous owners, though the 2022 failure with no defects noted warrants a check of the test station's paperwork to confirm it was not a withdrawn or mislogged entry. Pre-purchase checks should focus on consumable items the MOT may not capture between tests, such as wiper blades and fluid levels, plus a road test to confirm no developing drivetrain noise. The recorded history implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred maintenance, but the recent high-mileage jump means suspension and brake component fatigue should be verified before purchase.
