Our Verdict
Recommended for purchase provided the re
Focus your attention on the rear tyres and suspension. The MOT history shows rear tyre wear advisories in 2023, 2024, and again in 2026; you should verify if new tyres have been fitted since the last test or if there is an underlying alignment issue causing premature wear.
Additionally, the February 2026 test highlighted worn axle swivel pins and bushes. Request evidence of any repairs made to the suspension since this date, as this can be a point of negotiation on the final price. Ensure the service history supports the mileage recorded across the MOT tests.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban and motorway driving. As a common model, insurance groups for the Fiesta are generally competitive, and the 2017 petrol tax band is standard for this engine size.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are moderate, though you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in February 2024. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Carefully inspect the tread depth and wear patterns of the nearside and offside rear tyres, as these have been flagged in three separate MOT years. Check the front brake pads to ensure they were replaced after the 2024 advisory.
Regarding the chassis, have a professional check the axle swivel pins and bushes mentioned in the 2026 MOT. While not a failure, these are worn components that will eventually require replacement. Finally, check the headlamps and exhaust system, as these are among the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
This grey 2017 Ford Fiesta is powered by a 998cc petrol engine and has recorded five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. With 58,762 miles on the clock as of February 2026, its usage is broadly in line with the model average. While the pass record is clean, there is a recurring pattern of rear tyre wear noted in the history.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
