2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FG68 ECJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 70,294 miles. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable as no major mechanical failures or structural defects have triggered a fail. The most recent report noted only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate, suggesting that the primary safety-critical components have remained within acceptable operating parameters since the previous inspection. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, such as the jump of 13,000 miles between October 2022 and November 2023, and another 13,000 miles in the year leading to November 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing stationary, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, and fuel system health. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyres during a physical inspection. The 2024 test at 58,091 miles flagged front brake pads as thin and discs as worn and pitted. While these were not failed at the time, they indicate that the braking components were nearing their service life. Additionally, the history shows a recurring issue with tyre perishing and damage across multiple axles from 2021 through 2023. This suggests the owner may have neglected proactive tyre replacement until they were flagged by the tester, necessitating a thorough check of the sidewalls for cracking and the tread depth across all four wheels.
