2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MD18 LUH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the last four annual inspections resulting in clean passes without a single defect or advisory. This stable trend is evidenced by the most recent pass on 2026-07-23, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal requirements for safety and emissions without recurring mechanical issues over several years. The recorded mileage of 72,061 miles over approximately eight years reflects an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, meaning the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to standard operational wear. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged inactivity or unusually heavy commercial use. Inspection should focus on the components previously flagged in the 2021 test, specifically the front tyres and under trays. While the subsequent tests were clean, the previous mention of uneven wear on the nearside and offside front tyres warrants a close examination of the current tread depth and a check for irregular wear patterns. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any abnormal road noise or feel for a steering pull, which could indicate that the alignment issues noted in 2021 have persisted or returned. The presence of under trays, as noted in the 2021 advisory, can occasionally obscure oil leaks or structural damage to the lower chassis. It is advisable to ensure these trays are securely fitted and to check for any fluid staining on the underside of the panels. Given the typical mileage, checking for the condition of the front suspension bushes and steering linkages is prudent, listening for any knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces to ensure the chassis remains tight.
