2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EY68 LPC

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the entire MOT history. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 26,573 miles returned a clean pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without recurring issues regarding structural integrity, lighting, or braking systems. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2018 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,322 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 12,296 miles in September 2021 to 26,573 miles in May 2025. This low-use pattern suggests the car has primarily been used for short journeys or has spent significant time stationary. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or battery degradation. Since the MOT record shows no history of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions failures, the vehicle appears mechanically sound from a regulatory standpoint. However, because the mileage is low and the usage pattern appears light, a physical inspection should focus on components that suffer when a car is driven infrequently. I recommend checking for signs of age-related deterioration in the tyres, such as sidewall cracking, and inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion that may not be captured in a standard MOT test. A thorough check of the service history is advised to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, regardless of the low mileage. While the MOT history is exemplary, the lack of recorded mileage accumulation means the vehicle has not been subjected to the typical mechanical stresses of high-frequency motorway driving. Focus your inspection on the condition of the battery and any potential fluid leaks that may have developed during periods of inactivity.
