2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WR68 ETX

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 14,115 miles passed with no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clean results across the last four years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,764 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 8,629 miles and the September 2024 test at 12,038 miles, the car covered only 3,409 miles over two years. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary. The data gaps between tests are regular, indicating the car is used occasionally for short-distance trips rather than high-mile commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components specifically affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Long periods of inactivity can lead to brake caliper corrosion, flat-spotted tyres, and degradation of rubber suspension bushes or perished hoses. Despite the clean MOT record, the inspector should check for signs of fluid leaks and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed excessive moisture due to age. Given the low mileage, the mechanical integrity of the engine and gearbox likely remains excellent, but age-related material fatigue remains the primary concern.
