2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MD18 ATX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 24 June 2025 with 13,120 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently passed without defects or advisories across the last three years. While the record shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes following these events suggest that issues were rectified promptly rather than representing a chronic mechanical decline. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,640 miles per year. Data from the 2023 test at 9,067 miles compared to the 2024 test at 11,089 miles shows an interval of just 2,022 miles over twelve months. This consistent low usage suggests the car likely undergoes short trips or remains stationary for periods. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as brake corrosion or the degradation of rubber-based suspension components due to lack of regular operation. A buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures recorded in June 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the mechanical rejections. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for surface rust on discs and seized calipers which are common in vehicles that sit infrequently. Verifying the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking is also vital, as rubber often outlives tread depth in low-mileage scenarios.
