2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · OV68 AAO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 41,591 miles which returned with no defects. This indicates a stable trend of improvement following a period of reactive maintenance. While the June 2025 test flagged multiple consumable issues, the subsequent clean-sheet result suggests that the owner addressed the identified mechanical faults to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns between 2021 and 2023, where the car covered only 12,000 miles over two years. However, a significant spike in usage occurred between June 2024 and June 2025, with the mileage increasing by over 10,000 miles in twelve months. This sudden increase explains the rapid wear on the brakes and tyres recorded during the 2025 inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components given the recurring advisories. The 2025 test identified thin pads on all wheels and worn front discs, which suggests the braking system is nearing the end of its lifecycle. Additionally, the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2024 and 2025 point toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The inspector should check for uneven tyre wear on the current set to ensure that the previous wear patterns have not caused permanent damage to the steering geometry.
