Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 110,532, you should prioritise checking the service history for regular oil changes, which are critical for the 1.5L diesel engine. Specifically, ask for evidence of timing belt/cam belt replacement, as this is a major maintenance item typically required around this mileage interval.
During your inspection, pay close attention to the suspension and braking components. While the 2026 MOT was clean, the previous two years showed recurring issues with tyres (cracking, perishing, and edge wear), which can sometimes be a symptom of underlying alignment or suspension problems. Ensure the tyres currently fitted have plenty of tread and show even wear across the surface.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and load. You should check the specific Euro emissions standard to determine if it is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, as this affects daily running costs in urban areas.
Insurance groups for this model vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration SR18GAO. Expect maintenance costs to be moderate, but be prepared for higher-than-average component wear due to the vehicle's high mileage. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
The MOT history specifically highlights tyre issues in 2024 (cracking/perishing) and 2025 (edge wear). Inspect the current tyres for any signs of uneven wear, which could indicate faulty tracking or worn suspension components like bushings or shock absorbers.
Additionally, while not explicitly failed in this vehicle's history, the aggregate data for this model shows headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs as common failure points. Check that all lights are functioning correctly and listen for any knocks or rattles from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces.
This 2018 blue Ford Fiesta 1.5L diesel has covered 110,532 miles in approximately eight years, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,770 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and defects in 2024 and 2025, though the 2026 test recorded no defects. The vehicle's high mileage suggests it has been used extensively for long-distance commuting.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
