2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FA18 DPZ

The 2025-07-25 MOT at 70,753 miles confirmed the 2018 Ford Fiesta as roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance record. All subsequent tests from 2022 onward have passed without noted failures, reinforcing confidence that previous owners have addressed mechanical issues promptly. The mileage trajectory shows an average annual increase of roughly 8,800 miles, consistent with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. However, the jump from the 2022‑07‑09 test at 38,328 miles to the 2023‑07‑26 test at 57,831 miles represents an accumulation of 19,503 miles in a single year, far exceeding the average and suggesting a period of intensive use or extended standing periods. Earlier intervals between 2023‑07‑25 and 2024‑08‑22, and 2024‑08‑22 to 2025‑07‑25, align with the expected mileage growth. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody for rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, while also confirming that tyre tread depth and wiper condition match the mileage history.
