The 1388cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving. You can expect reasonable fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style. As a 2011 model, tax and insurance groups for the Fiesta are typically moderate, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or commuters.

Maintenance costs for this model are usually predictable. However, be aware that while the MOT history for this specific car is relatively clean, aggregate data for this model shows common failure points include headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs. Budget for these potential items during your annual servicing.

Directly address the 2024 MOT failure by inspecting the current condition of all four tyres; ensure there is no uneven wear on the edges, which could indicate alignment issues. Check the tread depth across the front axle specifically, as the previous failure noted both edge wear and a cut reaching the cords.

Beyond the tyres, inspect the headlamps and exhaust system, as these are statistically the most common failure points for the Ford Fiesta model. Given the low mileage, also check the condition of rubber components like belts and hoses, which can perish over time even if they haven't been heavily used.
