2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EY18 XOX

The vehicle currently fails the MOT requirement for the rear suspension and front brakes, indicating a serious mechanical risk that is not currently resolving. The most recent test on 2025-10-17 passed at 67,128 miles, but the failure on 2025-10-16 at the same distance revealed critical structural issues in the front suspension and brakes, including a ball joint, worn brake discs, and a cracked front tire. This sequence suggests that the mechanical integrity of the front axle has deteriorated significantly, with the test failure occurring before a full pass was achieved. The failure on 2024-10-14 further confirms that the brakes are now significantly worn and the front tire has a bulge, indicating that the structural integrity of the front suspension has failed. The failure on 2024-10-09 on 60,002 miles reinforces that the brakes and front tire are now in a state of severe wear and potential failure, with the front tire showing a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords. The maintenance trend is not improving; rather, it is worsening, as the failure dates and outcomes are consistent with a progressive loss of structural integrity in the front axle and brakes. The mileage pattern indicates a rapid accumulation of wear over an 8-year period, with the vehicle achieving roughly 8,391 miles per year. This is typical for a 2018 model, but the rapid growth in mileage suggests that the owner has not maintained the vehicle at a steady pace, leading to accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The gap between the 2025-10-17 test and the 2024-10-14 failure at 60,003 miles highlights a significant acceleration in mileage, suggesting that the owner may have been less diligent than the previous owner or that the vehicle was driven more frequently than expected. The consistent failure dates and outcomes across multiple years point to a pattern of rapid wear, where the vehicle is approaching the point where the structural integrity of the front axle and brakes is compromised. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical risks in the front suspension and brakes, as well as for wear on the front tire and wheel. The failure on 2025-10-16 at 67,128 miles revealed a ball joint and worn brake discs, which are critical components for the front axle. The failure on 2024-10-14 at 60,003 miles confirmed that the front tire has a bulge and the brake discs are significantly worn, indicating that the structural integrity of the front suspension has failed. The failure on 2024-10-09 on 60,002 miles further confirms that the front tire has a cut deep enough to reach the ply or cords, and the brake pads are wearing thin.
