2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YS18 AEE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-17 at 35,886 miles recorded a PASS, but the same date and mileage also show a FAIL entry, creating an inconsistency in the records. No defects were noted across all tests, suggesting no critical issues were identified during inspections. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating faults or recurring failures. However, the duplication of results for the same test date raises questions about data accuracy, which a buyer should verify through additional checks. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,886 miles at 8 years old equates to an average of 4,486 miles per year, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation despite low mileage. Gaps between MOT tests—12 months between 2023-05-17 (22,534 miles) and 2024-05-18 (29,124 miles)—align with the low annual distance, but the lack of defects in all records indicates consistent maintenance. The absence of wear-related issues in the history is positive, though low usage may mask hidden problems. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of static-related wear due to minimal use. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage can lead to seized parts. Structural integrity remains unmentioned in the records, but the lack of rust or corrosion entries is reassuring. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle’s condition aligns with the MOT data.
