2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · TR13 CJR

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-01-10 at 36,191 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over four consecutive annual tests, including the 2025-01-11, 2024-01-13, 2023-01-21, and 2022-07-08 assessments, all without recorded issues. This suggests effective maintenance and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures in these tests indicates the car has been well-kept within the parameters of its low mileage and age. The mileage progression reveals a pattern of minimal usage, with the vehicle accumulating just 36,191 miles over eight years—approximately 4,524 miles annually. Notable gaps exist between the 2022-07-08 test (14,371 miles) and the 2023-01-21 test (14,404 miles), suggesting potential periods of inactivity. Subsequent annual increases to 20,646 (2024), 28,679 (2025), and 36,191 (2026) miles align with typical usage but raise questions about the car’s storage history. Low mileage can mask wear in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which may degrade without regular operation. While the MOT record shows no direct faults, a buyer should inspect for signs of inactivity-related issues. Check suspension components for dryness or cracking, particularly around bushes and anti-roll bars, and test brake operation for binding or uneven wear. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for corrosion, as prolonged idleness can accelerate rust. Additionally, verify fluid levels and condition, as stagnant liquids may compromise performance. The vehicle’s clean MOT history does not indicate structural damage, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the absence of hidden deterioration.
