2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FG68 DYT

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 8 October 2025 at 31,520 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures across the entire inspection, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards without compromise. This unblemished record demonstrates consistent care, with no recurring mechanical issues or structural degradation flagged over the last five years. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,940 miles annually. The chronological data reveals a steady, incremental increase: 16,290 miles in October 2021, 19,624 miles in October 2022, 23,315 miles in October 2023, and 28,204 miles in October 2024. This translates to a consistent yearly increment of approximately 3,000 to 4,900 miles, suggesting regular, light usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage runs. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 31,520 miles shows a slightly higher jump of 3,316 miles over the preceding twelve months, yet remains well within the parameters of gentle commuter driving. Given the absence of flagged defects, a buyer's in-person inspection should focus on verifying the condition of age-related consumables and components that MOTs do not always quantify. Examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perishing before tread wear becomes an issue. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, a common affliction on cars that sit idle for extended periods, which can cause binding or uneven wear despite passing the roller test. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and scrutinise the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion. Although the structural integrity appears sound based on the clean MOT history, a physical underbody inspection remains prudent to confirm the absence of rust or impact damage.
