2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GP18 FNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 July 2026 at 35,133 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable items. While the latest test flagged a worn nearside front tyre and a deteriorated rear registration plate, these are minor issues that do not indicate a systemic mechanical failure or a decline in the vehicle's overall structural integrity. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 16,516 miles in July 2021 to 35,133 miles in July 2026. This low mileage suggests the engine and drivetrain components have experienced less mechanical stress than an average-run vehicle. However, the low frequency of use can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or the degradation of rubber components and seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment due to repeated reports of feathering and uneven wear. The 2022 failure noted an offside front inner tyre worn to the edge with feathering, while the 2026 advisory highlighted a nearside front tyre worn on the edge. This pattern suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, the sidewalls of the tyres should be checked for impact cuts, as the history shows multiple instances in 2022 and 2025 where sidewall damage was noted.
