2018 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · YX18 RBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent history indicates a lapse in pre-test preparation. While the car failed its test at 35,202 miles due to a non-functional nearside front fog lamp and worn front brake discs, these issues were rectified within two days to result in a pass at 35,206 miles. This suggests reactive maintenance habits. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per annum. Data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2024, where the car maintained clean records at 19,994 miles and 30,104 miles respectively. This low-frequency usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or kept stationary which often means the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy mechanical stress typical of high-mileage commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system. The 2025 failure highlighted worn brake discs, and while the tester noted no excessive corrosion, the low mileage can lead to surface rusting or seized calipers if the car sits for long periods. Verify the thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotors for uneven wear. Given the age relative to mileage, also inspect the rubber components and suspension bushings for cracking or dry rot, as these materials often age faster than they wear down on low-use vehicles.
