2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · JM57 ARM

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 41,515 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since a single failure on 5 December 2022 at 23,006 miles, a test that logged no defects and was immediately re-tested and passed the next day. This pattern indicates a clean mechanical history with no worsening or recurring faults across the recorded lifespan. Mileage stands at 41,515 miles against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 5,189 miles per year. The records show light and consistent use: 19,461 miles at the 23 December 2021 test, 23,006 miles in December 2022, 31,189 miles on 2 January 2024, and 41,515 miles by June 2025. A gap exists between the December 2022 and January 2024 tests, skipping the 2023 cycle, but the low annual accumulation suggests gentle commuting rather than neglect. No rapid accumulation or standing-related corrosion flags appear in the data. The unexplained failure on 5 December 2022 with zero defects recorded warrants a check of the test centre paperwork, as DVSA systems sometimes log administrative or emissions-meter faults without listed items. Beyond that anomaly, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity given the vehicle's low mileage and possible prolonged idle periods. Tyres and wiper blades will likely need assessing as consumables, but the MOT record itself raises no serious mechanical or structural risks.
