2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LP18 KWX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent successful MOT pass on 3 July 2026 at 55,457 miles. The most recent test required a failure on 2 July 2026 to address an insecure and poorly aimed offside front headlamp and a deteriorated rear registration plate. These faults represent minor non-mechanical issues rather than serious structural or mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or defects in the 2025 and 2024 tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 11,119 miles in July 2021 to 55,457 miles in July 2026. There are no signs of excessive mileage or long periods of inactivity. The jump from 25,731 miles in September 2023 to 36,004 miles in September 2024 indicates a normal driving pattern, and the subsequent climb to 42,453 miles by July 2025 remains within expected parameters. A prospective buyer should focus on tyre condition and lighting alignment. The July 2022 test flagged multiple issues with tyre wear, cracking, and perishing across the nearside front and offside rear. While no tyre defects appeared in the most recent tests, the previous history suggests the owner may occasionally neglect consumable replacements until they reach legal limits. Checking the tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four tyres is a necessary step during a physical inspection. The recent headlamp failure indicates a need to verify that all light units are securely mounted and correctly aimed to prevent glare. Beyond these minor points, the MOT history shows no recurring issues with brakes, suspension components, or exhaust emissions. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity in the recent years is a positive indicator for the vehicle's overall condition.
