2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FL18 FTP

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 96,947 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 June 2023 at 72,228 miles that was immediately retested the same day and passed with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage averages 12,118 miles, high for an eight-year-old supermini but consistent across the record. The car covered 4,679 miles between June 2022 (67,549) and June 2023 (72,228), then 11,568 miles to June 2024 (83,796), and 13,151 miles to June 2025 (96,947). Accumulation accelerated in the final two years yet stayed within normal commuting use. No gaps exist; the DVSA history is continuous from 2022 with no missing periods. The clean pass sheet gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms and rear beam for fatigue, and measure brake disc wear, as high annual mileage loads these components even when the tester logs nothing. The same-day fail and pass in June 2023 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, though no defect was carried to the retest. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard with no skipped MOTs and no ignored consumable wear surfacing as advisories. Given the mileage, expect tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals to need closer monitoring than a lower-mileage example, but the record shows no worsening mechanical or structural risks.
