2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · X21 CAB

The 2018 Ford Fiesta stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the latest DVSA examination on 9 March 2026 at 71,506 miles which delivered a pass and logged no defects. Across the full recorded history every annual test returned a clean result, showing no worsening pattern or recurring mechanical faults. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eight year old supermini. The record opens at 22,236 miles on 11 March 2022 and climbs steadily to 33,963 miles by 9 March 2023, then 47,595 miles on 21 March 2024, 59,184 miles on 13 March 2025, and finally 71,506 miles at the March 2026 test. Annual increments of roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles reflect consistent private or light commercial operation rather than long dormant periods. The unbroken sequence of March tests signals that previous keepers adhered to statutory scheduling and addressed any required work promptly, though the sheets themselves cite no required work. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions or structural corrosion appear in any entry. Such a clean ledger implies the previous owners maintained the vehicle to at least minimum statutory standard and likely resolved wear before each examination. The absence of recorded faults does not guarantee component perfection at point of sale, but it demonstrates no official flagging of serious structural or mechanical risk across four consecutive years. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection given the car's age. Examine front suspension arms and rear axle bushes for incidental wear not yet notifiable, check brake disc thickness and caliper slide for latent binding, and inspect sills and subframes for incipient rust despite the clean MOT lineage. The documented history supports confidence in baseline roadworthiness, yet hands-on verification of consumables remains sound practice before purchase.
