2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · JN07 ALF

The MOT history for this 2018 Ford Fiesta indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding electrical components and braking systems. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 85,491 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting that previous issues were addressed. However, the test a year prior in November 2024 showed a failure due to thin rear brake pads and a non-operative Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp. These failures suggest that components are often serviced upon reaching a critical threshold rather than on a strictly preventative schedule. At 85,491 miles over eight years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,686 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical UK usage for a petrol hatchback of this age. The mileage between tests appears consistent, with roughly 14,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 inspections, and approximately 9,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady use generally implies predictable wear on consumable items, though the suspension and drivetrain remain subject to the total mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system and electrical wiring, as the history shows recurring issues in these areas. While the 2025 test pass was clean, the previous failure of the engine warning light warrants a vital scan to ensure no hidden sensor or emission related faults are currently masked. There are no recorded structural advisories or corrosion-related failures in the provided data, but a physical inspection of the brake lines and lighting assemblies is recommended to confirm the current state of these roadworthiness items following the historical failures.
