Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a compact
The most immediate point for negotiation is the tyre condition; the July 2026 MOT recorded both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit. A buyer should factor the cost of two new front tyres into their offer.
Check the service history specifically for the 1.0L engine's maintenance intervals. While the MOT history is stable, ensuring the oil and filters have been changed regularly is key for this engine variant's long-term health.
The 998cc engine is designed for fuel efficiency and typically falls into a lower road tax bracket, making it an economical choice for urban commuting. Insurance groups for this model are generally low, which helps keep annual fixed costs down.
Typical maintenance will involve routine consumables. Based on this vehicle's history, tyres and brake pads are the primary wear items to budget for. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to larger petrol vehicles.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres, as the most recent MOT (July 2026) explicitly flagged the nearside and offside front tyres as worn on the edge. Verify if these have been replaced since the test date.
Although this specific vehicle has not failed for them, be mindful of common Fiesta failure points identified in aggregate data, such as the condition of the headlamps, the exhaust system, and the coil springs. Check for any signs of corrosion or leaks in these areas during a physical walk-around.
This silver 2016 Ford Fiesta with a 998cc petrol engine has covered 58,980 miles. Its MOT history is relatively clean, featuring three consecutive passes from 2023 to 2026 and only one failure in 2023 related to tyres and brake pads. The vehicle's usage appears consistent, with steady mileage increases recorded each year.
The Ford Fiesta has a recorded average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with headlamps and exhaust systems being the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
