2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · MF18 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The July 2026 test at 34,874 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean result from the July 2025 test at 27,267 miles. This indicates that any previous maintenance issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,359 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, increase in usage, moving from 8,835 miles in February 2021 to the current 34,874 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the interval between tests remains regular, suggesting the vehicle has not been left sitting for extended periods without use. The MOT history highlights a specific trend regarding tyre condition during the mid-life period of the vehicle. In February 2022 at 12,570 miles, the tester flagged cracking in the tyre treads, and by August 2023 at 18,247 miles, the record showed multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit, including a nearside rear tyre at 1.6mm. These entries suggest that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, the tyres may be perishing due to age rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth to ensure no further age-related cracking or perishing has occurred since the last test. Although no issues were flagged regarding the braking system, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions in recent years, the history of tyre degradation warrants a close look at all rubber components, including the spare tyre and any visible suspension bellows, to ensure they remain supple and free of structural cracks.
