2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MM08 BEY

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance pattern. In the most recent test on 2026-05-22 at 105,685 miles, the car passed, but two critical defects were recorded: brake pads wearing thin and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. The brake issue is particularly alarming, as it indicates that the nearside front brake pads were already failing as early as January 2023, suggesting a persistent lack of preventative maintenance. The rapid accumulation of 12,253 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests is unusual and may have accelerated the wear of these components. The vehicle's high annual mileage of approximately 13,211 miles per year for its age compounds this risk, meaning the suspension, drivetrain, and remaining brake components have likely experienced significant fatigue. A buyer should conduct a thorough, hands-on inspection of the brake system, checking for uneven pad wear, caliper movement, and the condition of the brake discs. The tyre should be examined for uneven wear patterns, and the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension bushes should be verified to ensure the vehicle has been properly maintained despite its high usage.
