Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this specific Fiesta, you should prioritise checking the recent work done to address the extensive list of brake and tyre defects recorded in December 2024. Ask for receipts to confirm that the front brake pads, discs, and the various tyres mentioned in the MOT history were actually replaced.
Negotiate based on the condition of the tyres; the December 2025 MOT noted nearside rear tyre cracking/perishing, which suggests rubber ageing may be an ongoing issue. Additionally, ensure the registration plate has been replaced, as the previous MOT flagged it as deteriorated.
As a 998cc petrol engine, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency and typically falls into a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small-displacement petrol engine.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though the 2024 MOT history suggests that consumables like brake pads, discs, and tyres may require more frequent attention. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £900-£1,100, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
A primary focus must be the braking system. The December 2024 MOT failure and subsequent advisories detailed thin pads, pitted/scored discs, and fluctuating service brakes. Inspect the discs for smoothness and ensure there are no unusual noises or vibrations when braking.
Secondly, inspect all four tyres for signs of perishing or cracking, as this was a recurring advisory in both 2024 and 2025. Finally, check the condition of the registration plate and ensure the underside of the vehicle is clear of any covers that might obscure a technician's view, as noted in the 2022 MOT.
This 2018 red Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has covered 36,686 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage of 5,770. The vehicle's MOT history shows a clean 2023 record, but it experienced a significant failure in late 2024 involving multiple brake and tyre issues. The most recent test in December 2025 passed, though it noted perishing tyres and a deteriorated registration plate.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures often related to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
