2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LR18 YNO

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 18,617 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five annual passes with zero advisories or failures since the first entry in March 2022. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances rose from 7,560 miles at the 29 March 2022 test to 9,299 miles in March 2023, 10,810 miles in March 2024, 14,356 miles in March 2025, and 18,617 miles by March 2026. That averages roughly 2,300 miles per year. The absence of any gaps beyond standard annual testing and the steady low accumulation suggest a car kept predominantly for short, infrequent journeys or periods of storage rather than sustained motorway use. Given the spotless MOT history, no recurring faults appear in the suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity categories. The clean record implies previous owners addressed consumable wear before each test or simply encountered none. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion and brake caliper condition, since long standing periods at low mileage can mask seizing handbrake mechanisms and flat-spotted tyres not captured in a pass result. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm fluid condition and tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The DVSA data alone shows no mechanical red flags, but low-use Fords of this era warrant scrutiny of the clutch and idle behaviour that static records cannot reveal.
