2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FJ68 MPF

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 75,912 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle passed every test cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring defects on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,489 miles per year. The record shows 31,423 miles at the November 2022 test, rising to 39,602 by November 2023, then 57,044 by October 2024, and 75,912 by November 2025. The step from 57,044 to 75,912 in just over twelve months reflects a period of heavier use, but nothing extreme for this model. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no flagged corrosion, binding calipers, or worn consumables across the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The clean MOT trail gives no evidence of neglected coil springs or degraded exhaust systems, yet annual testing only captures faults at the test moment. Check the front suspension arms and rear axle for early bush fatigue, and measure brake disc wear given the 18,868 miles added in the final year. Verify the November 2025 failure with no defects was a clerical error and not a withheld certificate. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard with no skipped intervals. Failing to record even minor tyre or wiper advisories suggests either careful pre-test preparation or very low consumable wear. The Fiesta warrants normal used-car scrutiny rather than structural concern.
