2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FL68 HAU

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 58,462 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of passes since September 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects. Mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 33,344 miles at the 12 September 2022 test, rising to 41,300 by 18 September 2023, then 49,047 at the 16 September 2024 pass and the 14 September 2024 failure, and 58,462 by September 2025. Annual accumulation averages near 7,300 miles with no sudden jumps or long dormant gaps. The sparse, clean history gives limited insight into component wear but shows no neglected intervals. The only blemish is the 14 September 2024 failure at 49,047 miles, reversed two days later by a pass at identical mileage with no defects logged. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, though a buyer should confirm the reason with the test station. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues, the car shows no pattern of skipped consumable upkeep. In person, the buyer should still verify tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity, as MOT passes with no advisories do not measure remaining consumable life. The clean record implies prior owners kept the vehicle to test standard, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible on a car of this age.
