2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · MW67 GFE

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 62,430 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. Since the 2024 failure, the car has maintained a clean record, suggesting that the current owner is responsive to safety-critical repair requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 59,635 miles and September 2024 at 61,741 miles, the car covered 2,106 miles, showing a period of significantly lower usage. The subsequent interval of 689 miles in the year leading to August 2025 indicates a return to minimal usage patterns. This low overall mileage generally reduces the wear on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies compared to high-mileage examples. The failure in September 2024 at 61,740 miles highlighted specific concerns regarding an unsecured bonnet latch and a perished offside front tyre. While these are relatively straightforward mechanical and consumable fixes, a buyer should verify the bonnet locking mechanism to ensure there is no structural fatigue in the striker or hinges. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection should also check for sidewall cracking or dry rot on all tyres, as rubber can degrade over time even if tread depth remains sufficient. The absence of recurring advisories for corrosion or brake wear in the records suggests the chassis and braking system remain in good condition.
