2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MK18 AEJ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 April 2025 at 28,767 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that meets or exceeds minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is very low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 3,596 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and modest, growing from 14,024 miles in February 2021 to 28,767 miles by April 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or prolonged periods of neglect. Because the MOT record is devoid of any flagged defects, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of care. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A physical inspection should focus on items that the MOT tester might overlook if they are not failing. Check for perishing rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than tread wear, and potential battery degradation from light use. Ensure the brake calipers are moving freely and the oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of the low mileage to prevent internal sludge buildup.
