2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FX68 XKA

The 2018 Ford Fiesta passed its latest DVSA MOT on 10 July 2026 at 33,815 miles, confirming that it remains roadworthy despite rear brake disc wear, pitting or scoring, and a distorted offside front wheel rim. The recurring brake disc condition documented from 2023 onward shows a stable pattern with no worsening, and no serious structural or mechanical failures have been recorded. Mileage has risen steadily from 14,483 miles in July 2021 to 33,815 miles in July 2026, averaging about 4,227 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s eight‑year age and indicates regular use rather than prolonged standing. The annual tests from 2021 through 2026 are continuous, with no missing years, and the increase from 18,807 miles in 2022 to 24,210 miles in 2023 reflects a normal acceleration in usage. The most notable recurring defect is rear brake disc wear, documented in every test since 2023, accompanied by pitting or scoring but never classified as seriously weakened; pads have approached the wear indicator each time. The offside front wheel rim distortion noted in 2026 suggests possible suspension or steering component fatigue, while surface rust on the rear brake disc in 2023 points to corrosion that should be examined for structural impact. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, verify that the distortion is limited to the rim and not indicative of bent hubs or suspension mis‑alignment, check for rust penetration on the disc and surrounding chassis, and assess the wear on the rear tyres and suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers, as these items have shown consistent signs of use.
