2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HV18 LFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean pass results. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 42,359 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor component issue, likely a bulb or minor consumable, that was addressed promptly before the retest, as no underlying mechanical failures or structural weaknesses were flagged in the official record. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 10,802 miles and the April 2024 test at 28,015 miles, the car covered 17,213 miles. The more recent jump of 14,344 miles between April 2024 and October 2025 indicates a recent increase in usage, yet the total figure remains well below typical thresholds for the drivetrain. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to perished components or corrosion if the vehicle sat for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rubber-related components and braking systems which often suffer on low-use cars. Check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry-rot despite the low tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as infrequent use can prevent the calipers from clearing debris effectively. Given the record shows no structural advisories in the past, the chassis appears well-maintained, but a visual check for mounting corrosion remains standard practice to ensure integrity.
