2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WH68 ADO

The 2018 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 77,994 miles, though the maintenance trend is stable but reactive rather than preventative. That test recorded offside rear tyre cracking with perishing and play in the steering rack inner joint. Earlier tests show a repeated pattern of tyre edge wear and braking advisories, implying the previous owner replaced components only when test limits forced action. Mileage advanced from 28,595 in the June 2022 test to 41,246 by June 2023, then 55,300 in June 2024, 68,273 in June 2025 and 77,994 in June 2026. This equates to roughly 9,700 to 14,000 miles per year, a typical private-use profile with no dormant gaps or sudden accumulation. The record begins only at four years old, so early life care is unverified, but the uniform climb suggests steady commuting rather than abuse. A buyer should prioritise a physical check of the steering rack inner joints for play and any associated tyre scrub. Persistent offside front and rear tyre edge wear from 2023 through 2025 points to possible wheel misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Front brake discs and pads drew wear notes in June 2024 after rear pads thinned in June 2023; a workshop must measure disc thickness and pad depths across both axles. No structural corrosion or exhaust faults appear in the history, yet the perishing rear tyre and steering joint merit prompt rectification before extended use.
