2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE68 YCS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 September 2025 at 49,935 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass without listed defects on the passing certificate suggests the issue was rectified instantly or was a testing anomaly that does not indicate a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,242 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 25,396 miles and the September 2025 test at 49,935 miles, the car covered 24,539 miles over three years. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which can often lead to fluid degradation or seized components. The relatively low total mileage for an eight-year-old Fiesta generally implies less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage examples. Since the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that affect low-mileage cars. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and bushings for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has sat for periods between services. The lack of recorded structural rust advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but a visual check of the underside is always necessary to confirm no hidden corrosion has developed.
