Our Verdict
A viable choice for a low-mileage city c
Focus your negotiation on the current MOT advisories. The October 2025 test highlighted corroded rear coil springs and a worn nearside rear tyre; these are immediate maintenance requirements that should be resolved before purchase.
Verify the service history to ensure the 2023 suspension repairs—specifically the track rod end and lower suspension arm ball joint—were carried out by a reputable garage. Given the age of the vehicle, check for any signs of further underbody corrosion beyond what is noted in the MOT records.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for economy, typically resulting in low fuel consumption and a competitive road tax band. Insurance costs are generally low for this model, making it an affordable option for new or city drivers.
Typical maintenance costs for the Fiesta are moderate, though this specific vehicle's history suggests a higher-than-average requirement for suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are likely to fall between £900 and £1,200.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension. The 2025 MOT explicitly mentions corroded rear coil springs on both sides, which aligns with aggregate data identifying coil springs as a top failure reason for this model. Check the nearside rear tyre to confirm if it has been replaced since the October 2025 test.
Additionally, examine the front suspension components. Since the vehicle failed in 2023 due to excessive play in the nearside front track rod end and a worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, ensure there are no new knocks or vibrations during a test drive that could indicate further wear.
This black 2013 Ford Fiesta with a 998cc engine has recorded 62,625 miles, placing it below the average annual mileage for this model. While it has a consistent record of MOT passes, the history reveals a pattern of suspension-related issues, including a failure in 2023 and recent advisories in 2025.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with coil springs being one of the most frequent causes of failure across the model range.
