2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MH10 LOV

This 2018 Ford Fiesta has a relatively clean MOT history, though a specific mechanical issue has emerged recently. The most recent MOT passed in December 2025 with 40,669 miles, but it noted a corroded offside rear coil spring. There is a clear recurring pattern regarding the offside rear coil spring, as this same defect was flagged in November 2024. This suggests the corrosion is a persistent issue that has not yet been fully resolved or has progressed. The trend for this specific component is worsening rather than improving. The vehicle has covered approximately 40,669 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 5,084 miles per year. This is considered low mileage for a car of this age. While low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and brakes, it can also suggest the vehicle has spent significant time standing still, which can contribute to the type of corrosion seen on the suspension components. The mileage signal is somewhat ambiguous; while the low usage suggests a well-preserved interior and engine, the recurring corrosion indicates that environmental factors or lack of regular use may be affecting the chassis and suspension. Before purchasing, you must inspect the rear suspension thoroughly to ensure the corroded coil spring has actually been replaced with a new part, rather than just being noted.
