2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MH02 AUG

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection. The February 2026 test at 137,126 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at the time of testing. This follows a successful result in March 2025 at 117,762 miles, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle's compliance with minimum standards over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is significant for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per year. The jump from 95,181 miles in March 2023 to 117,762 miles in March 2025 shows a consistent high-usage pattern. This level of annual mileage places increased stress on mechanical components and consumables. The data shows a brief period of inactivity or a minor repair requirement in March 2024, where the vehicle failed at 102,894 miles before passing three days later at 102,998 miles. While the specific reason for this failure is not recorded, the rapid turnaround suggests a minor rectification rather than a major mechanical failure. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to heavy wear. You should closely examine the suspension system, specifically the coil springs and suspension bushes, as these often show fatigue on high-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or scoring, and inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion or structural degradation. The drivetrain and engine bay also require scrutiny. High-mileage Fiestas often show wear in the clutch assembly and various rubber hoses or belts. While the MOT record is currently clean, the high mileage suggests that preventative maintenance on timing belts or water pumps should be verified through service history rather than relying solely on the MOT certificate.
