Our Verdict
This 2005 Ford Fiesta presents a remarka
When inspecting this Fiesta, pay close attention to the items repeatedly flagged in recent tests, particularly tyre condition and brake pipe corrosion. Check the service documentation to see if the advisories noted on previous MOT certificates have been properly addressed or if replacement parts were fitted. Given the vehicle's age, negotiate on the price if tyres or braking components require immediate attention following purchase.
Ensure all electrical features, headlamps, and the exhaust system are functioning correctly, as these represent common failure points across the wider model range. It is also wise to verify that the 1.25-litre engine idles smoothly and that the cooling system shows no signs of neglect. A thorough walk-around and a check of the chassis for corrosion will help confirm the vehicle's structural integrity.
The 1242cc petrol engine sits in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for everyday urban and suburban driving. Road tax falls into a traditional band for vehicles registered before March 2006, and routine maintenance costs are kept low due to the sheer abundance of aftermarket parts available for the Ford Fiesta.
Typical maintenance should be straightforward, though older rubber components and suspension parts may require periodic replacement. Factoring in fuel, standard insurance, VED, and basic servicing, the estimated annual running cost sits around £900-£1,200 depending on your exact annual mileage and insurance profile.
Examine the offside front brake pipe noted in the July 2026 test to ensure the corrosion has been properly treated or replaced, and check whether it was merely obscured by grease at the time. Inspect all four tyres carefully for the cracking and perishing that appeared on the 2023, 2024, and 2025 test records, as older rubber degrades regardless of tread depth.
Look out for the common model weak points highlighted by national data, including coil springs, the exhaust system, and headlamp alignment or bulb function. Check the rear registration plate mentioned in the 2023 MOT to ensure it has been replaced if it was deteriorating. A close inspection of the sills and wheel arches for age-related rust is also recommended.
First registered in September 2005, this silver Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1242cc petrol engine and has recorded a modest 60,235 miles up to its July 2026 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT record shows a consistent pattern of first-time passes stretching back across multiple years, though it is not entirely free of advisory notices. With over 1.5 million similar models analysed nationally, parts availability and general familiarity for mechanics are exceptional.
The Ford Fiesta has an average national MOT pass rate of 77.7% across more than 1.5 million vehicles, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs forming the most common failure reasons.
