Our Verdict
Highly recommended for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car with a pristine MOT record. This Ford Fiesta presents a rare opportunity to own a vehicle used significantly less than the average example.
When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus should be verifying the low mileage. Since the car has covered only roughly 4,800 miles per year, it is vital to ensure it has followed a strict annual service schedule, as low-mileage cars can suffer from neglect between service intervals. Check for any signs of rubber degradation or brake corrosion, which can occur on cars used primarily for short trips.
Negotiate based on the service history records to confirm that oil changes were performed annually despite the low mileage. Given the clean MOT history, there are no mechanical red flags from the testing data, but you should still check the tyre tread and condition, as these are the most common failure points for the Fiesta model across the wider fleet.
The 1.0L petrol engine places this Fiesta in a low insurance group, making it affordable for first-time drivers. You can expect excellent fuel economy, particularly in city driving where the small displacement engine thrives.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, with parts being widely available and affordable. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, low tax, and routine maintenance, are likely to fall between £700 and £900 depending on your driving habits.
While the MOT history for this specific vehicle shows no defects, you should still inspect for common Fiesta issues identified in aggregate data, such as headlamp alignment and exhaust system wear. Ensure the exhaust is free of excessive rust, as this is a frequent failure reason for this model.
Pay close attention to the tyres. As the aggregate data shows tyres are a top failure reason for Festas, verify that the current set has ample tread and shows no uneven wear. Given the low mileage, check for sidewall cracking if the car has sat stationary for long periods.
This 2018 Ford Fiesta shows an exceptionally low-mileage profile of 28,655 miles, which is far lower than the national average for its age. Its MOT history is flawless, with four consecutive passes from 2022 to 2025 showing zero defects or advisories recorded. With a 998cc engine, it is a fuel-efficient choice suited for short-distance commuting and urban environments.
The Ford Fiesta generally enjoys a positive reliability reputation, though the 1.0L EcoBoost engines require strict adherence to oil service intervals to maintain timing belt health.
