2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GU18 KAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 102,225 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded defects in the documented history. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained clean passes from 2022 through 2025, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable operating parameters during those periods. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and high usage, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year which exceeds the typical national average for a car of this age. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 44,970 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 11,200 miles annually. This consistent mileage often correlates with predictable wear and tear on the drivetrain and suspension components, yet the lack of advisories in the intervening years of tests suggests the vehicle was likely subjected to regular maintenance rather than suffering from periods of neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres as the 2026 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This specific wear pattern often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be addressed to prevent further premature degradation. Given the high mileage of over 100,000 miles, a thorough check of the brake discs, shock absorbers, and exhaust integrity is necessary to ensure that the high-frequency use has not compromised these components beyond standard consumable wear.
