2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WJ18 GDO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance in recent years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 81,741 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical wear-related issues have been addressed. This transition from multiple defects in 2023 to consecutive clean records suggests the current owner is proactive regarding servicing once faults are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 28,762 miles in early 2021 to 81,741 miles by early 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of standing, which often leads to seal degradation or brake corrosion. The regular annual mileage generally benefits the health of the drivetrain and exhaust components by keeping them at operating temperatures and preventing carbon buildup. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as this was a recurring point of concern. The 2023 test at 53,897 miles flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, while the 2022 test at 38,551 miles noted thin pads. Although the recent tests passed without defect, you should verify the current thickness of the front rotors and ensure the replacement parts have sufficient life remaining. Additionally, the TPMS light noted in 2022 should be checked to ensure the sensors are functioning correctly and that there are no slow leaks in the tyres.
