2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FP18 SDZ

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and currently sound mechanical condition, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 26 April 2025 at 48,480 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend remains stable, showing no recurring faults or progressive deterioration across the recorded history. Although a failed test appears on the same date as the 2025 pass, the absence of recorded defects on both entries suggests a minor, immediately rectified issue such as a blown bulb or faulty wiper, rather than a persistent mechanical fault. The vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards without any outstanding advisories. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,060 miles annually. Between the March 2023 test at 36,361 miles and the March 2024 test at 43,355 miles, the car covered 6,994 miles, followed by a slightly lower 5,125 miles over the subsequent thirteen months leading to the April 2025 test. This demonstrates consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessively high mileage. However, the recorded mileage has remained static at 48,480 since April 2025, indicating a gap of over a year without a recorded test or significant mileage addition, which warrants confirming the current odometer reading matches the documentation. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear items for a 2018 Fiesta approaching 50,000 miles. Examine the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. Check the brake discs and pads for lipping or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary given the recent mileage plateau. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for leaks or damage. While the electronic systems have passed recent scrutiny, testing the infotainment system and climate control functionality remains prudent before purchase.
