2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WM18 MMF

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and untroubled MOT record across the four annual tests on file, the most recent being a clean pass on 9 April 2025 at the recorded 63,288 miles. Three consecutive passes preceded it in 2024, 2023 and 2022, each without advisories or failures. With no defects logged at any point over the four-year window, the regulatory trend is unambiguously flat in a positive direction, though the absence of recorded advisories only confirms statutory compliance on the test day rather than the underlying mechanical condition of components between visits. Mileage accumulation is relatively modest for an eight-year-old supermini. The vehicle covered roughly 7,900 miles annually on average, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a car of this class and age. No anomalies stand out in the recorded figures, and there are no extended gaps between tests or sudden jumps that would suggest clock irregularities, prolonged off-road storage, or unusually heavy use between MOT cycles. The current date of August 2026 means the next test would ordinarily be due by April 2026, so the absence of a 2026 entry should be noted, as the record is now around sixteen months old relative to today's date. For a prospective buyer, the clean advisory history means the MOT file offers no specific flagged components to target. A physical inspection should nonetheless cover the usual wear items on a Fiesta of this age and mileage, including front suspension components such as wishbone bushes, drop links and coil springs, which commonly deteriorate on the Mk7/Mk7.5 platform. Brake discs and calipers, particularly at the rear where binding has historically been reported on this model, deserve a raised inspection. The condition of the dual-clutch automatic gearbox, if fitted, warrants a thorough road test for shuddering or hesitation, and a check for corrosion along the rear axle, sills and subframe mounting points is sensible given the car's age. Tyres, wipers and the exhaust system should also be assessed, as these are consumable items that fall outside MOT recording when replaced between tests.
