Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific Fiesta, pay close attention to the tyres. The 2024 and 2025 MOT records show a pattern of tyres being 'slightly damaged/cracking or perishing' and being 'worn close to the legal limit'. Ensure any replacement tyres have significant tread depth and no signs of sidewall cracking.
Additionally, the 2025 MOT noted a 'front Flexi exhaust deteriorated'. Check that this has been fully addressed and isn't just a temporary fix. Because this is a small-capacity 998cc engine, confirm the service history includes regular oil changes to maintain engine longevity. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of age-related deterioration in rubber components or seals.
This 1.0L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective option for urban driving. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically low, appealing to first-time drivers or budget-conscious commuters.
Maintenance costs should be manageable, though you should budget for more frequent tyre replacements based on the recent MOT advisory trends. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to be modest.
Focus your inspection on the exhaust system and the tyres. The most recent MOT (2025) specifically flagged a deteriorated front flexi exhaust, so listen for unusual noises from the underside during a test drive.
Regarding the tyres, the 2024 MOT recorded multiple issues including nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having perished rubber. Inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues, and check for cracking in the sidewalls. Finally, check the brake pads, as the 2024 record noted front pads were wearing thin.
This 2016 silver Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 36,594 miles as of October 2025. The mileage is notably lower than the model average, which sits at approximately 5,770 miles per year. Recent MOT history indicates some maintenance requirements regarding tyres and exhaust deterioration, though the vehicle has passed all recorded tests.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 1.0 EcoBoost Wet Belt FailureSerious
The oil-bath timing belt is extremely sensitive to skipped servicing or the wrong oil. Once it sheds material, rubber debris clogs the oil pickup strainer, causing oil starvation and total engine failure.
- Powershift Transmission JudderSerious
The same dry-clutch Powershift risk carried into the facelift years, where shunting urban use and missed maintenance accelerate clutch and mechatronic failures.
