2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FJ68 LUW

The 2018 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 17 July 2025 at 72,162 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the last three successful tests indicates the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The trajectory shows a resolving pattern, moving from an anomalous failed test in June 2023 to consecutive flawless passes, suggesting the previous owner addressed any immediate concerns promptly. The recorded mileage aligns perfectly with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,020 miles annually. Accumulation remains consistent, stepping from 65,990 miles in August 2022 to 69,731 miles by June 2024, and reaching 72,162 miles in July 2025. A slight anomaly appears in the timeline with a failed test on 6 June 2023 at 67,762 miles, followed immediately by a pass at the identical mileage the next day. This points toward an aborted test or a procedural failure rather than a mechanical breakdown, as no defects were recorded against the failure. While the MOT record shows zero recurring mechanical or structural faults, a physical inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age. Examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, which can develop during typical urban driving cycles. Check the exhaust system for leaks and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for any corrosion that might not have warranted an MOT failure but could compromise long-term durability. Tyre tread depth and condition also warrant a close look, as consumable wear varies drastically based on driving style.
