2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WA18 TNU

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 03 March 2026 showing no recorded defects. The testing history across the last five years demonstrates a stable pattern of compliance, as the vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor tyre-related advisories in 2021 and 2023 to a completely clean record in the three most recent inspections. This trend suggests that the specific wear items previously flagged have been addressed or replaced, resulting in a recent history free of failures or structural concerns. The recorded mileage of 88,846 miles indicates a typical usage pattern for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 11,106 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is consistent with standard UK driving profiles and suggests the vehicle has not been subject to excessive motorway mileage or, conversely, the mechanical risks associated with long periods of stationary use. From a mechanical perspective, this mileage level implies that while major drivetrain components may not yet be at high-wear thresholds, consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust components should be closely monitored for age-related degradation. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the tyre history noted in the 2021 and 2023 records. The previous advisories for tyres being worn on the edges or showing signs of cracking and perishing suggest that alignment or tyre age may have been an issue in the past. During a test drive, it is essential to check for any steering pull or unevenness in the steering wheel, which could indicate remaining alignment issues or uneven wear on the front axle. Additionally, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration through the steering rack or floorpan that might suggest uneven tread wear or issues with the wheel bearings. While the recent tests show no defects, the history of tyre edge wear warrants a physical inspection of the current tread patterns on all four tyres to ensure they are not wearing prematurely. You should also inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing that may have developed since the last inspection. Beyond the tyres, given the mileage, a thorough check of the braking system for any pedal judder or binding calipers is advisable, alongside an inspection of the suspension for any knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces, ensuring that the components previously subject to wear are performing as expected.
