Our Verdict

A highly recommended purchase based on i

Given the extremely low mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than mileage, as the engine has not been used extensively. Check the battery health, as low-use vehicles can suffer from premature battery degradation.

Negotiate based on the age of the tyres. While the 2022 advisories for perishing on all four tyres may have been addressed, rubber components can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Verify that a full set of fresh tyres has been fitted since 2022.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and placing the vehicle in a competitive insurance group for small hatchbacks. Annual road tax for this 2018 model is typically modest, contributing to low fixed overheads.

Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are expected to be between £800 and £1,200. Maintenance costs should remain low, provided the vehicle is transitioned back into regular use carefully.

Inspect all tyres for cracking or perishing, specifically referencing the four advisories noted in the September 2022 MOT test. Even if the tread is deep, the rubber may have hardened due to the vehicle's low usage.

Check the common failure points identified in aggregate data for this model, specifically the headlamps for condensation or failure, the exhaust system for corrosion, and the coil springs for signs of snapping or rust. Finally, check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring, which can occur in vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.

This red Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has covered just 10,775 miles since September 2018, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. Its MOT history shows five tests with no failures recorded. The only notable entries were four advisories in September 2022 regarding perishing tyres, which is consistent with a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary.

The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
