Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 134,193 miles, you should negotiate the price downwards to account for the upcoming maintenance requirements. Prioritise checking the service history to see if the oil leak noted in the December 2025 MOT has been addressed or if it is a recurring issue.
Ask the seller specifically about the recent replacement of the nearside front coil spring and the track rod end, as these were failure points in the 2025 MOT. You should also verify that the tyres mentioned as being 'worn close to the legal limit' in the 2025 advisories have been replaced with new ones.
As a 1.0L petrol model, this Fiesta typically falls into a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient, though high mileage may impact real-world MPG if the engine is not well-maintained.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are likely to be higher due to wear-and-tear items. Expect frequent replacements of consumables like tyres, brake components, and suspension parts. An estimated annual running cost would be in the mid-range for a small petrol car.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The MOT history shows a fractured nearside front coil spring and play in the front inner track rod end ball joint. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of the central front oil leak noted in December 2025.
Check the condition of all four tyres, as the most recent MOT recorded nearside front and rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Additionally, test the horn and the windscreen washer system, as these were recorded as failures in the 2025 MOT cycle, and ensure the nearside mirror is securely mounted.
This 2013 grey Ford Fiesta with the 998cc petrol engine has covered 134,193 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of recent failures, including issues with suspension components, tyres, and oil leaks. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025, the record indicates several advisory items that require attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
