Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a small, economical hatchback. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, making it a relatively low-risk prospect.
When viewing this Fiesta, check the service history to see how the 1.0L EcoBoost engine has been maintained, as regular oil changes are critical for this specific engine variant. Although the MOT history is clean, you should still verify that all consumables, such as tyres and brake pads, have sufficient life remaining.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 71,238 miles, this vehicle has been driven more than the statistical average for its age. Ensure you ask for proof of any recent major maintenance, such as cambelt replacements, which are common requirements for this engine type around this mileage.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are generally predictable due to the vast availability of parts. Expect typical running costs to include regular servicing, MOTs, and occasional wear-and-tear items like tyres or wipers. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across 1.5 million analysed vehicles. Even though this specific car has no recent failures, these components are prone to wear.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks and check the condition of the drive belt. Since the most recent MOT in July 2025 passed with no defects, the vehicle appears to have met the minimum safety standards, but a physical inspection of the suspension and braking components is always advised.
This 2013 red Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 71,238 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests since 2022, with the most recent test showing no defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 5,835 per year, the lack of recorded failures in the last four years is a notable aspect of its history.
The Ford Fiesta is a high-volume model with a 77.6% average MOT pass rate across the dataset.
