2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · XG53 XYK

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset, evidenced by a clean pass in the February 2026 test at 30,924 miles. The maintenance trend indicates an improving pattern where previous failures were successfully rectified between testing intervals. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes with no recorded advisories suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults to maintain DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,866 miles per year. There is a distinct gap of 4,283 miles between August 2023 and July 2024, followed by another 3,523 miles covered in the final seven months. This low annual usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting if the car sits stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that caused the failures in July 2023 and July 2024, although the provided summary does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those defects. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and calipers, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently enough. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking to ensure the low-speed use has not resulted in age-related fatigue over time.
