2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MK18 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 16 August 2025 at 44,638 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 12 August 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just two miles later suggest the owner addressed identified issues promptly to maintain road legality. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,580 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 31,819 miles and August 2023 at 34,441 miles, the car covered only 2,622 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use. Usage increased significantly to 7,397 miles in the following year leading up to the failed test. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to seized brake components or degraded rubber seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often fails to clear rust from the rotors. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the record shows no structural rust advisories to date, the chassis integrity appears well-maintained for its age.
