2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · SH67 AWW

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 14 November 2025 at 17,696 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the October 2024 records show a clean pass on 23 October 2024 at 16,540 miles, though an anomalous failed entry sits against the same date and mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has carried no advisories or defects across the full five-year history from 2022 to 2025. Mileage stands at 17,696 against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 2,212 miles per year. The records trace a gentle climb: 13,988 miles on 11 October 2022, 15,150 on 30 October 2023, 16,540 on 23 October 2024, and 17,696 on 14 November 2025. No abrupt accumulation or standing gaps appear. Low annual use of this order often means lighter load on drivetrain and suspension bushes, yet prolonged inactivity risks perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion the MOT may not capture when clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The clean history gives no flagged coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural integrity concerns to chase, but low-mileage Fiestas of this era commonly develop undertray corrosion and worn rear suspension mounts through damp storage. Verify the tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm the 2024 duplicate test entry was a station error and not a suppressed failure. Given the sparse but consistent pass pattern, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current without deferred consumables. The absence of advisories across five tests suggests either disciplined servicing or light local use. A pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions, fluid condition, and chassis rust remains prudent before commitment.
