2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MJ67 PWE

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 September 2025 at 52,870 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 28 August 2023 at 37,025 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a passing test the same day. Annual mileage averages 6,609 across the recorded history, which is typical for an eight-year-old car. The odometer moved from 26,948 miles at the 16 September 2022 test to 37,025 miles by 28 August 2023, then 45,601 miles at 11 September 2024, and 52,870 miles at the 2025 test. The increments of roughly 10,000, 8,500, and 7,300 miles per year show consistent light use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse but clean across all five entries, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories means worn coil springs, deteriorating suspension arms, or early brake disc lip formation would not surface in the data. Standing periods implied by lower annual mileage can encourage underseal breakdown and hidden structural rust on sills or subframes, none of which a pass certificate rules out. Given the clean history and modest use, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. The same-day fail-and-pass in August 2023 suggests a paperwork or tester error rather than neglected upkeep. Verify service stamps against the 52,870-mile figure and check for outstanding manufacturer recalls before purchase.
