2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO68 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent pass on 4 June 2026 at 59,985 miles. While the most recent test flagged an advisory for a slightly damaged or perishing offside rear tyre, the overall trend shows a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition. The history indicates a period of minor mechanical intervention in June 2025, but the subsequent pass suggests that identified issues were addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 7,500 miles per year, showing steady progression from 12,964 miles in September 2021 to the current 59,985 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule or evidence of excessive, sudden mileage spikes that would suggest heavy commercial use or irregular driving patterns. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The failure in June 2025 at 46,571 miles highlighted worn front brake pads, pitted front inner brake discs, and significant sidewall damage to the nearside rear tyre. Although the vehicle passed the following test, these recurring consumables suggest that brake components and tyres are the primary areas of wear. The advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre in the June 2026 test indicates that rubber degradation is becoming a factor. This often occurs with vehicles that are parked for extended periods or exposed to significant environmental elements. A thorough check of all four tyres for sidewall cuts, cracking, or uneven wear is necessary, alongside a visual inspection of the brake discs to ensure any pitting or scoring has been adequately rectified.
