Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 18 June 2025 at 49,135 miles. While the most recent record shows two initial failures on that same date, the lack of recorded defects for those specific entries suggests administrative errors or immediate re-test successes rather than persistent mechanical faults. Despite these anomalies, the maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the vehicle has passed without any advisories or defects across the previous three annual testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,142 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 24,630 miles and the June 2024 test at 37,529 miles, the car covered 12,899 miles, followed by another 11,606 miles in the year leading up to 2025. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, brake components, and suspension bushings that can degrade when left stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on aged rubber components and suspension bushes, as low mileage does not prevent the natural hardening of materials over eight years. Given the clean history of advisories, the brake discs and calipers likely remain in good condition, but a check for corrosion on the exhaust system remains necessary due to the age. The recorded failures in June 2025 warrant a brief inquiry with the owner regarding the lighting system or drivetrain to ensure no significant mechanical issues were rectified immediately before the final pass.

Our Verdict

Approach with sensible caution due to two recorded MOT failures for an airbag warning fault in June 2025, but the most recent 2026 test passed with no defects. This white 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1 petrol is otherwise a reasonable used buy if the SRS fault has been properly resolved.

Before purchasing, confirm with the seller that the SRS (airbag) warning lamp fault which caused the two June 2025 failures was diagnosed and repaired, and that the subsequent same-day pass reflects a genuine fix rather than a cleared code. Ask for any invoices from a Ford dealer or qualified technician covering the restraint system work, as this is a safety-critical item.

The 1084cc petrol engine in this Euro 6 AG Fiesta is among the most economical in the range, with real-world figures typically in the high 40s to mid-50s mpg, keeping weekly fuel spend modest for a commuter. Road tax for a Euro 6 petrol of this size is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the 1.1 Fiesta are generally low, aiding affordability for new or younger drivers.

Specifically check that the SRS warning lamp on the dashboard illuminates briefly on start-up and then goes out, confirming no recurring fault from the June 2025 MOT failures (7.1.6 (a)). A persistent or flashing lamp would indicate the earlier problem is unresolved and must be addressed before purchase.

This December 2018 registered Ford Fiesta with the 1084cc petrol engine has covered 60,626 miles as of its June 2026 MOT, which is broadly typical for a near-eight-year-old small hatchback. The MOT history shows clean passes in 2024 and 2026 plus a clean pass in 2025, but two failures on the same day in June 2025 for a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, so assessment rests on the individual history supplied.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ford Fiesta, so this assessment is based solely on the individual vehicle's presented history.
