2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · LM18 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-25 at 41,749 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a fail with no recorded issues, creating an inconsistency. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passes at lower mileages, with no structural or mechanical failures noted. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no recurring issues were flagged across six years of testing. However, the absence of defects in all records suggests either meticulous upkeep or limited diagnostic scrutiny, warranting further physical inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 41,749 miles at eight years old equates to approximately 5,219 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes and coil springs through lack of movement. Gaps between MOT tests, such as the 7,308-mile interval between 2024-03-27 (27,697 miles) and 2025-03-31 (35,005 miles), suggest sporadic use, potentially increasing the risk of corrosion in underbody panels or brake system binding from stagnation. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as inactivity may cause sticking components. Corrosion in the exhaust system and underbody panels is also a concern given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern. No advisories or failures in the MOT history indicate no immediate risks, but the low mileage warrants a thorough mechanical check to confirm component functionality.
