2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD18 ENK

This 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 29,071 miles showing no defects—an outcome repeated across all four recorded entries. The absence of advisories, minor faults, or failures over the past three years suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in terms of core mechanical and safety systems. No recurring issues with brakes, suspension, or structural integrity have been logged, and the consistent passing rates indicate no deterioration in critical areas. The last test, just nine months ago, further confirms the car remains compliant with current DVSA standards, though some routine wear items (such as tyres, wipers, and fluids) would still require personal verification. The mileage pattern reveals unusually low annual usage—around 3,634 miles per year —which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Between June 2022 (18,307 miles) and October 2025 (29,071 miles) , the car covered just 10,764 miles in over three years , implying either infrequent driving, extended periods of inactivity, or a secondary/leisure use profile. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components, brakes, and suspension, but it may also mask hidden issues if fluids (e.g., brake fluid, power steering) have degraded due to stagnation. The gap between the 2023 (21,142 miles) and 2024 (26,704 miles) tests—nearly 14 months with just 5,562 miles —further supports this pattern, raising the possibility of prolonged storage. Given the flawless MOT record, a prospective buyer should still prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas less scrutinised by the tester. Pay particular attention to brake fluid condition and brake hose flexibility , as low-mileage vehicles can develop fluid degradation over time. Check for suspension bush wear or coil spring sag , which may not always be evident during a basic MOT but could affect handling. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks , especially if the car has spent extended periods in damp conditions. While the MOT history is reassuring, the unusually low mileage means some components may have aged beyond their typical service intervals, warranting closer examination before purchase.
