Our Verdict
This Ford Fiesta presents as a well-docu
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 repeatedly flagged 'slightly damaged/cracking or perishing' tyres, suggesting the car may have spent periods stationary or parked in conditions that accelerate rubber degradation. Check the date codes on all four tyres to ensure they are not excessively aged despite the low mileage.
Beyond the tyres, review the service history to ensure the 998cc engine has received regular oil changes, which are vital for the longevity of Ford's EcoBoost units. As this is a 2018 model, confirm if the timing belt maintenance schedule has been addressed, as this is a significant service item for this engine variant.
The 998cc petrol engine in this Fiesta is generally efficient, contributing to manageable fuel costs for most drivers. As a 2018 vehicle, it falls into a standard Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) bracket, though you should verify the exact annual cost via the DVLA website using the registration FH18HNK.
Insurance costs should be relatively competitive given the Fiesta's popularity and the model's safety profile. Maintenance costs are generally predictable, though you should budget for premium-brand tyres to avoid the cracking issues noted in previous MOTs. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the region of £1,100-£1,300, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the condition of the tyres, given the history of cracking noted in previous MOTs. Ensure the sidewalls are free from perishing and that the tread depth is uniform across all wheels. Additionally, check the rear registration plate; it was previously noted as 'deteriorated' due to fading, so verify that it remains legible and secure.
While the model is generally reliable, perform a standard check of the lighting systems and exhaust mountings, as these are common failure points for the Fiesta range. Test the operation of all interior electronics and ensure the engine idles smoothly, paying attention to any unusual noises during the initial cold start.
Registered in June 2018, this grey Ford Fiesta has covered 18,536 miles over eight years, which is significantly lower than the model's typical usage patterns. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of passing its annual MOT tests since its first check. While there have been recurring advisories regarding tyre condition, the most recent inspection in February 2026 was completed with no defects recorded.
The Ford Fiesta remains a popular choice with a broad parts availability, though owners should be mindful of common MOT failure points such as headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
