2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · FH67 NDD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding minor components. The most recent test in January 2026 at 73,596 miles passed without failure but introduced an advisory for an offside rear tyre showing signs of perishing. This follows a 2025 advisory where the brake hydraulic reservoir was noted near the minimum mark, suggesting a potential slow leak or significant pad wear that had not been fully addressed before the subsequent test. At 73,596 miles over eight years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,200 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The mileage progression is consistent, with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 8,500 miles between annual tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stagnation, though the clean records in 2023 and 2024 indicate a period where the mechanical and structural integrity remained within acceptable parameters under normal operation. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension and tyre alignment, given the historical evidence of uneven tyre wear. The 2022 test flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit on the edges, which often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the low brake fluid level recorded in 2025 warrants a thorough check of the brake lines and calipers to ensure no active leaks are present in the system. The perishing noted on the offside rear tyre in 2026 indicates the rubber is reaching its age limit, necessitating immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
