2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · PR02 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance regarding consumable components. While the car passed its test in April 2026 at 51,218 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to worn rear brake pads and substandard rear tyres. This transition from a clean record in previous years to a mechanical failure suggests the current owner may be waiting until the MOT deadline to address necessary repairs rather than performing preventative servicing. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 5,550 miles driven between April 2023 and March 2024, followed by another 6,000 mile interval between March 2024 and March 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car is used for short trips, which typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to flat spotting on tyres or degraded rubber components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows recurring issues with uneven wear and sidewall damage across multiple tests. The March 2025 and April 2026 entries both highlight cuts and edge-wear patterns, which could indicate an alignment issue or poor driving habits. Furthermore, since the rear brake pads were at the wear indicator in April 2026, the brake discs should be checked for glazing or deep scoring caused by running the pads to their limit.
