2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO68 SNF

The most recent MOT test conducted on 24 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. When reviewing the broader history, the vehicle demonstrates a stable and positive maintenance trend. While there were several advisories noted in October 2022, the subsequent three annual tests have been entirely clean. This suggests that the previous issues were likely rectified and that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA roadworthiness requirements. The recorded mileage of 59,325 miles is consistent with the vehicle's eight year age, averaging approximately 7,416 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a small hatchback, suggesting the car has not been subjected to the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use, nor has it suffered from the degradation often found in vehicles that stand idle for extended periods. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that the drivetrain and chassis should still be in a healthy state, provided the service intervals have been adhered to. Prospective buyers should note the 2022 advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs, as well as perishing and cuts to the tyres. Although these are no longer listed, it is essential to verify whether the discs were replaced or merely cleaned. During a test drive, feel for any shuddering or pulsing through the brake pedal under deceleration and listen for grinding noises, which would indicate the discs remain worn or warped. Carefully inspect the current tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, particularly on the rear axle, as rubber compounds degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Given the vehicle's age and current mileage, further attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can begin to fatigue around this stage of a vehicle's life. Listen for any clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces. It is also advisable to check the service records for calendar-based maintenance, ensuring that the engine oil and coolant have been refreshed according to the manufacturer's time intervals. Finally, inspect the 12V battery for signs of age and verify that there is no evidence of corrosion on the underbody or seepage from the engine seals.
