Our Verdict
This Ford Fiesta presents a solid proposition for a buyer, backed by a consistent record of MOT passes. While the vehicle has covered higher-than-average mileage, the most recent test was completed with no defects recorded.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the history of braking components. The 2022 and 2023 MOTs flagged thin brake pads and pitted discs; ensure you verify if these were replaced and check if the current braking performance is sharp. Given the 998cc engine size, which likely refers to the EcoBoost unit, check for any signs of coolant leaks or irregular engine noise during a cold start.
Negotiation should centre on the vehicle's higher-than-average mileage. While the most recent MOT was clean, the cumulative mileage suggests that suspension components and auxiliary belts may be approaching their service intervals. Request any available invoices for parts fitted during the 2022-2025 period to confirm that the advisories regarding tyres and brakes were resolved with quality components.
The 998cc petrol engine is generally economical, though real-world fuel consumption will depend heavily on driving style. As a 2017 model, it falls into a standard VED bracket, though you should verify the exact rate based on CO2 emissions. Insurance groups for the Fiesta are typically competitive, making this an accessible car for a wide range of drivers.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for standard wear items. With the car now past 75,000 miles, you should anticipate potential costs for tyres, brake discs, and routine servicing. You should estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,400, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and a contingency fund for maintenance.
Prioritise a thorough check of the tyres. The 2025 MOT noted cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, so ensure these have been replaced with a matching set of good-quality rubber. Additionally, inspect the windscreen for any signs of the cracks mentioned in the 2022 and 2023 tests to ensure they haven't spread or been poorly repaired.
Under the bonnet, check for any evidence of oil leaks or residue around the engine block. Given that the model is prone to headlamp and suspension arm issues, test all lighting functions and listen for any knocking sounds from the suspension when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps.
Registered in November 2017, this red 998cc Ford Fiesta has covered 78,401 miles over its nine-year life. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent inspection in April 2026 showing no defects. Previous tests highlighted typical wear-and-tear items, such as brakes and tyres, which have been addressed in subsequent years.
The Ford Fiesta is a high-volume model in the UK with a vast data set; while it generally performs reliably, owners should watch for common issues involving suspension components and lighting systems.

- 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.
