2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · OV18 KKC

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass on July 1, 2026, 33,339 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a notable failure in the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed specific defects related to the airbag system and tyre condition, the absence of defects in the most recent record suggests the owner addressed these faults and brought the vehicle back to standard before the latest inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,167 miles per year. Data shows consistent low usage between 2021 and 2023, where the car covered only 700 miles over a two-year period. However, a more significant increase in usage occurred between June 2024 and June 2025, with the vehicle covering 7,566 miles in twelve months. This shift suggests a change in usage patterns during that period, though the overall total mileage remains low enough to minimize mechanical wear on drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer must personally verify the supplementary restraint system to ensure the yellow airbag warning lamp flagged in 2025 has been permanently rectified and does not reappear. Although the recent MOT passed, safety-critical electronics often require a dedicated diagnostic check. Additionally, because the 2025 failure noted an undertray obscuring testable items, a physical inspection should confirm that the under-shield is securely fastened and not hiding structural corrosion or leaks from the fluid lines. Given the low mileage and long intervals, the buyer should also check for flat spotting on the tyres or surface rust on the braking system, which are common when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods.
