2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD18 XCM

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a fully roadworthy status with a stable and unbroken maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 21,699 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work across its inspected life. Recorded mileage shows consistently light use for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 11,957 miles on 19 May 2022, rising to 13,785 miles by 15 May 2023, 16,579 miles on 30 April 2024, 18,890 miles on 22 April 2025, and 21,699 miles on 10 April 2026. Annual accumulation held near 2,700 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Such low throughput suggests prolonged standing periods are plausible, though the clean test record gives no evidence of resultant deterioration. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable and age-sensitive components the MOT does not deeply assess. Low mileage combined with possible inactivity can allow tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted rubber, and seized brake calipers to develop unseen. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and underbody corrosion should be physically checked despite the absence of flagged defects. The DVSA data alone shows no recurring problems, serious structural risk, or skipped upkeep. Previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied each annual test without advisory. Given the sparse but clean history, a pre-purchase examination by a qualified technician remains sensible to confirm hidden wear not captured by MOT scope.
