2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FL18 FLF

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 23 September 2025 at 59,485 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving, though the path to that pass exposed administrative or pre-test faults. The tester failed the car on 22 September 2025 at 59,483 miles and again on 13 August 2025 at 59,475 miles, yet recorded no defects on either occasion. Such zero-defect failures typically indicate missing documentation, registration mismatches, or presentation issues rather than mechanical failure. The odometer shows 59,485 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to circa 7,436 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. Mileage moved from 52,498 on 15 December 2023 to 56,665 on 16 December 2024, then to 59,485 by September 2025. The annual accumulation stayed near 4,000 to 3,000 miles with no rapid surge or standing gap. The clean advisory slate across all five entries suggests previous owners kept consumables and structure within test limits, though absence of advisories does not confirm component life remaining. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and the unexplained 2025 failures. The DVSA record flags no recurring mechanical fault, so no worsening pattern exists in brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures before purchase, as they may reveal paperwork gaps rather than workshop neglect.
