Our Verdict

Strongly recommended. This vehicle boast

Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the 998cc engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. While the MOT record is clean, you should verify that the offside front tyre mentioned in the 2024 advisory has been replaced and that the current set has even wear across all four corners.

Negotiate based on any upcoming maintenance requirements, such as brake pad wear or fluid changes, which are not captured in MOT tests. Given the model's age, ensure all electronic components, particularly the infotainment and climate control, are functioning correctly.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing it in a lower insurance group and a competitive road tax bracket for 2018 vehicles. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally strong for urban and mixed driving.

Annual costs will include fuel, VED, and insurance, alongside routine servicing. Based on the engine specifications and vehicle age, typical maintenance should remain affordable provided no major components fail.

Inspect the tyres carefully, specifically the offside front, to ensure the wear issue noted in June 2024 was resolved and hasn't recurred. Check the headlamps and exhaust system for any signs of deterioration, as these are among the top failure reasons for Fiestas across the wider dataset.

Additionally, examine the coil springs for any cracks or corrosion, as these are a known weak point for this model. A visual check of the underbody for exhaust leaks is also advised, given the aggregate model data.

This grey 2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has a recorded mileage of 52,921 miles as of June 2026. Its MOT history is notably consistent, showing five passes and no failures. The vehicle represents a stable example of this model with a predictable mileage progression.

The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with the most common failures relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
