2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · PL68 OBX

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 46,852 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories across the entire recorded history indicates a vehicle that has required no structural or mechanical rectification. This consistent record suggests a previous owner who maintained the car diligently, addressing wear items before they escalated into failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,856 miles annually. Between the tests on 28 September 2021 at 17,722 miles and 24 October 2022 at 24,086 miles, the car covered 6,364 miles over a thirteen-month period. Usage increased notably over the following fourteen months, with 13,858 miles added between October 2022 and December 2023. The subsequent thirteen-month period saw a similar high rate of accumulation, adding another 13,858 miles by 31 January 2025. The most recent year saw a significant drop in usage, with only 3,317 miles covered between 31 January 2025 and 27 February 2026. This declining utilization points toward lighter, more localized use in recent times, or potentially extended periods of the vehicle standing idle. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage and recent reduction in usage warrant a focused physical inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from standing. A buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as the rubber may have perished rather than worn down. Brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for surface corrosion and potential binding, a common issue when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should also be checked for perishing, as low-mileage urban driving and prolonged stationary periods degrade these rubber components just as readily as high mileage does.
