2018 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Turbo 1.0L Petrol · XW03 JSW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 3 December 2024 at 66,736 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This lack of failures suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, addressing mechanical and safety issues before they could trigger an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 44,314 miles and the 2023 test at 57,060 miles, the car covered 12,746 miles, followed by another 9,676 miles in the subsequent year. This regular usage pattern indicates typical operating conditions rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and brake components often seen in low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should still focus on components that are not covered by the annual test. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or premature wear, as the ST-line trim often features a firmer setup. Given the mileage, the brake discs should be inspected for uneven wear or heavy corrosion, and the calipers should be checked for binding despite the lack of recorded defects.
