2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FJ68 MSX

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 52,441 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual examinations from 2021 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every test first time with zero advisories or failures. This unbroken clean record indicates consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. Annual mileage sat well below the class average for its age. The 6 December 2021 test logged 16,927 miles, rising to 20,933 by 17 November 2022, 26,354 on 5 December 2023, 37,544 on 9 December 2024, and 52,441 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 6,555 miles per year against an eight-year life. The step from 37,544 to 52,441 miles in the final year shows a single period of heavier use, yet the overall curve stays light and the sparse, defect-free history gives no cause for alarm on wear patterns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual use mixed with the recent 14,900-mile jump can allow suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers to stagnate or develop slight binding through disuse. Check tyre sidewall condition and brake disc corrosion for signs of standing moisture, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. No structural integrity issues, recurrent faults, or consumable neglect appear in the DVLA data. The previous keepers clearly met statutory test requirements without deferring basic care. Treat the car as a sound used purchase, subject to standard pre-sale checks on underside rust and fluid intervals.
