Our Verdict
This 2005 Ford Fiesta presents a mixed M
When inspecting this 2005 Ford Fiesta, verify the physical condition of the brake pipes following the failure recorded in October 2025 for excessive corrosion on both front and offside rear pipes. Check the condition of all four tyres, noting that nearside front and offside rear tyre wear or cracking have been flagged in recent annual tests. Request the full service history to cross-reference against the recorded MOT milestones and confirm when consumable items like brake pads (noted as wearing thin in October 2022) were last replaced.
Running costs for this 1.25-litre petrol Ford Fiesta should remain relatively modest, as the engine size places it in a manageable insurance group and standard VED bracket for vehicles of this era. Fuel economy is generally economical for short-to-medium trips, though fuel consumption will vary depending on driving style and traffic conditions. Maintenance costs should account for typical wear-and-tear items such as tyres, suspension components, and brake lines, which have required attention in recent years.
Inspect the underbody thoroughly for brake pipe corrosion, specifically checking the front and offside rear areas that led to the October 2025 MOT failure. Examine the suspension struts for any oil leaks, noting the offside front shock absorber misting recorded in October 2024. Check the depth and age of all tyres, paying attention to edge wear and perishing as highlighted in previous advisories from 2023, 2022, and 2025.
