2018 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · ST68 LEW

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 30 August 2025 at 21,314 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record of passes over the last five years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the mechanical or structural failures common in older cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,664 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2024, the car covered only 4,764 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. A notable increase in usage occurred between 2024 and 2025, where the vehicle clocked 10,498 miles in a single year. While the low total mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than traditional mechanical wear. Check for dry rot on tyre sidewalls and cracking in rubber suspension bushes or hoses, which can occur through age despite low mileage. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as calipers can seize when left stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no previous structural corrosion or exhaust issues, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound, provided the vehicle has been stored according to manufacturer recommendations.
