2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO68 PLJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance history across five consecutive years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 16,514 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four inspections. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that has not triggered recurring mechanical or structural failures during its testing life. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 5,624 miles, moving from 10,890 to 16,514 miles. This low usage profile indicates minimal wear on high-stress components such as the engine and drivetrain system. However, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to issues not captured by an MOT, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber-based suspension components. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on potential issues associated with low-mileage vehicles. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking due to age, as tread depth does not reflect rubber degradation. It is also advisable to inspect the brake fluid for moisture content and examine the discs for surface rust or pitting that occurs when a car sits. While the record shows no structural corrosion, a visual check of the underbody remains necessary to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains sound as the data suggests.
