2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · KL09 DAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive trend rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 47,781 miles resulted in an initial failure due to the offside front tyre and misaligned headlights. While the car passed immediately after these corrections, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures suggests the owner only addresses defects once they trigger an MOT failure rather than during routine servicing. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 47,781 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The usage appears consistent, with the vehicle covering between 6,000 and 7,000 miles between each annual test from 2021 to 2026. Such low mileage generally indicates less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or dry-spotting of brake components due to fluid stagnation if the car sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and tyre alignment. The record shows a persistent pattern of uneven tyre wear, noted in 2022, 2024, and 2026, with tyres frequently worn on the edges. This often points to tracking-related issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly adjusted. Additionally, the 2022 failure flagged fluctuating front brake discs and worn pads; while these were likely replaced, a physical inspection should check for current disc thickness and any signs of glazing to ensure the braking system is not again nearing the end of its service life.
