2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · KA10 CON

Based on the DVSA MOT records, this 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 27,330 miles passing cleanly aside from a minor advisory regarding slight inner edge wear on the offside front tyre. The vehicle has not failed an MOT since December 2022, and the progression from a failure with worn front brake discs and a defective wiper assembly to four consecutive clean passes indicates that the previous owner addressed those defects promptly and has maintained the car consistently since. The current certificate is valid until late November 2026, giving a prospective buyer nearly full coverage from the date of purchase. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old supermini. The car has covered just 27,330 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 3,416 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are steady and modest, moving from 17,829 miles in December 2022 to 21,299 miles by December 2023, then to 24,695 miles by December 2024, and finally to 27,330 miles in November 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, suggesting regular but light use rather than long periods of inactivity or recent high-mileage accumulation. This pattern generally favours reduced wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though prolonged standing can introduce its own concerns around tyre perishing, brake surface corrosion, and seized components. The single historical failure on 7 December 2022 flagged two items: a front brake disc worn, pitted, or scored, and a front wiper assembly that failed to clear the windscreen effectively. Both were rectified before the retest on the same date, and neither has recurred. A buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person, looking for any signs of lipping, scoring, or uneven wear that could indicate a developing issue with caliper slide pins or binding. The wiper linkage and blade condition deserve a quick functional check, particularly if the car has been sitting for extended periods between uses. The only advisory on record, noted at the November 2025 test, concerns slight inner edge wear on the offside front tyre. This wear pattern typically points to a minor toe or camber misalignment on that corner rather than a defect in the tyre itself. A buyer should inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and date codes, and consider having the front wheel alignment checked before committing to the purchase. Beyond these items, the MOT record is clean and consistent, with no structural corrosion, suspension, or exhaust emissions defects flagged across any test. The car appears to have been well cared for within the scope of the DVSA inspection regime.
