2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · OV68 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful retest in June 2026. The most recent inspection in June 2026 at 31,038 miles initially showed a failure due to a non-functional nearside stop lamp and a tyre showing signs of perishing, but these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass. Overall, the maintenance trend remains stable, with the vehicle consistently passing tests with minor consumable-related defects rather than recurring mechanical or structural failures. With a recorded mileage of 31,038 over eight years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 3,880 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The usage pattern appears remarkably consistent, with intervals of roughly 3,000 miles between each annual MOT test from 2021 through 2026. This low-intensity usage typically suggests less wear on the engine, drivetrain, and suspension, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing or brakes seizing if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres in person, as the 2023 test flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit and the 2026 test identified cracking on the nearside rear tyre. Given the low mileage, the tread depth may be sufficient, but age-related degradation makes sidewall cracks a likely concern. It is also advisable to check for corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust or binding calipers if not used frequently. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or fluid leaks, indicating a well-maintained chassis for its age.
