2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FN68 KLD

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 53,637 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean sequence across the prior four years. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 28,196 miles at the 21 September 2022 test, rising to 36,785 miles by 15 September 2023, 45,539 miles on 4 September 2024, and 53,637 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse in detail but uniformly clean, with the only anomaly being a failed entry on 15 September 2023 at 36,785 miles carrying no recorded defects, immediately followed the same day by a pass at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The absence of advisories means wear items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion have not been flagged, but MOT tests do not strip components. At 53,637 miles the original clutch, dampers, and exhaust system may be approaching natural service intervals without yet breaching test limits. Given the low yearly usage and clean history, previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to minimum legal standard rather than neglecting it. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels match the lack of recorded defects, and confirm no hidden structural rust exists behind trim or wheel arches.
