2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · PL67 ADX

This 2018 Ford Fiesta has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2026-02-05—just five months ago—confirms no mechanical or safety failures, suggesting the vehicle remains structurally sound and free from critical wear. The absence of recurring issues across tests spanning 2022 to 2026 indicates responsible maintenance, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers that fall outside MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 24,965 miles over eight years—approximately 3,121 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, implying either minimal use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The consistent 1,000-mile increments between tests (e.g., 16,931 to 20,986 between 2024 and 2025) suggest the vehicle was likely stored or driven infrequently rather than subjected to heavy use. While this reduces wear on high-mileage components, it may also mean fluids (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) have not been refreshed regularly, and rubber seals or hoses could degrade from age rather than mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for dry rot or excessive play, as these are common failure points in low-mileage but aged vehicles. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Tyres, though not MOT-failed here, warrant scrutiny for uneven tread wear or embedded debris from prolonged storage. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as rust can compromise structural integrity even with minimal mileage. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are pristine.
