AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2018 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 69,649 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across every examination in the supplied history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,700 miles per year. The records show 38,591 miles at the September 2022 test, rising to 43,324 by March 2023, 46,957 by February 2024, 60,157 by March 2025, and 69,649 by December 2025. The jump between February 2024 and March 2025 accounts for over 13,000 miles in just over twelve months, yet no advisories or failures followed. The data is sparse on fault detail because every entry lists zero defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the heavier annual mileage seen in the last interval. No tester flagged corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns across the record, which suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current. Without recurring advisories on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades, the history implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred care. Verify in person that the 2025 mileage of 69,649 reflects genuine use and confirm cambelt interval compliance for this engine variant before purchase.

Our Verdict

This Ford Fiesta is an exceptionally well-maintained example that represents a very safe purchase for a used car buyer. With a flawless MOT history spanning the last four years, it is clear the previous owner has prioritised regular maintenance and prompt repairs.

When viewing this vehicle, focus your inspection on the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items that may need replacing soon given the current mileage. Ensure the service history book is stamped regularly to support the excellent MOT record, as consistent oil changes are vital for the longevity of the 1.0L EcoBoost engine.

Negotiate based on the upcoming service interval if it has been more than 12 months since the last oil change. Check the interior for signs of heavy wear on the driver's seat and steering wheel, which can help confirm if the mileage has been primarily motorway-based or stop-start city driving.

The 1.0L petrol engine in this Fiesta is renowned for its balance of performance and efficiency, typically returning 45-55 mpg depending on driving style. Road tax for this 2018 model is generally affordable, falling into the standard petrol vehicle band.

Insurance costs should be competitive as the Fiesta sits in a lower-to-mid range group for most drivers. Budget for an annual service and potential consumable replacements like brake pads or tyres to keep the car running in its current pristine condition.

While the MOT history is clean, always perform a visual check of the bodywork and paint, particularly for stone chips on the front bumper which are common on white vehicles. Inspect the alloy wheels for kerbing damage, as this can be a hidden cost to rectify.

Under the bonnet, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the coolant expansion tank and ensure the engine idles smoothly when cold. Listen for any unusual rattles from the turbocharger, though the clean MOT history suggests the engine has been well-cared for thus far.

Registered in September 2018, this white Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol model has covered 69,649 miles. The vehicle boasts a perfect MOT record with no recorded defects across its last five inspections, indicating high mechanical reliability. It is a solid value proposition for anyone seeking a dependable, economical hatchback.

The Ford Fiesta is widely regarded as a dependable small car, and this specific vehicle's clean MOT record reinforces that reputation for reliability.
