2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SN18 PZU

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 14,911 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual examinations since 2023. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record runs from 10,700 miles at the 6 March 2023 test through 12,222 miles in March 2024, 13,369 miles in March 2025, and 14,911 miles in March 2026. That equates to roughly 1,400 to 1,600 miles added each year, or about 1,864 annually overall. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse but clean across all entries, with the only anomaly being a duplicate 6 March 2023 entry showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage and no defects logged, which reflects an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless history. Low mileage combined with long standing periods risks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres that an MOT may not flag if within tolerance. The tester recorded no advisories on corrosion, brake discs, or exhaust emissions at any stage, so structural integrity appears sound on paper. Given the car's light use, prioritise checking for moisture ingress, binding calipers from disuse, and ageing consumables like wiper blades and battery condition. The previous owner clearly kept the vehicle to a conservative annual schedule with no skipped tests, implying careful storage rather than neglected upkeep.
