2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YY18 OXS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in proactive braking system attention. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 59,276 miles passed, the tester flagged both thin front brake pads and worn brake discs. This mirrors the exact defects from the April 2025 test at 51,178 miles, indicating that the previous owner has neglected to replace these components despite two consecutive years of warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between May 2022 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over two years with no recorded defects. However, the jump of 9,356 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests coincides with the first appearance of brake wear, suggesting that recent driving patterns accelerated the wear issues seen in the most recent inspections. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly before purchase. Since the discs and pads have been flagged as worn for two years, they are likely nearing the end of their functional life and will require immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping. You should also check for glazing on the discs or seized calipers, which often occurs when pads are allowed to run thin. No structural corrosion or suspension faults have appeared in the history, so the mechanical risk is currently limited to deferred maintenance on the braking system.
