Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests without recorded defects. The most recent test on 31 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no advisories or failures noted. This follows two previous clean passes on 08 April 2025 and 26 March 2024. The recorded mileage of 26,018 miles indicates a low-use pattern for a 2021 model, averaging approximately 5,204 miles per year. The MOT records do not provide specific mileage increments for the 2024 and 2025 tests, making it impossible to track exact annual mileage accumulation or identify periods of prolonged inactivity. The current data confirms the vehicle has consistently met minimum regulatory standards over the last three years. Since the MOT history contains no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or tyre tread, there are no documented mechanical trends to report. A physical inspection should still focus on checking for signs of age-related degradation that MOT testing might not capture, such as rubber component perishing or fluid leaks, which can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. buying_score: 85 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

A solid recommendation for buyers seeking a modern, low-mileage hatchback. This specific 2021 Ford Fiesta Active Edition shows a clean MOT history with no recorded defects over its recent testing period.

When inspecting this Fiesta, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test specific safety and environmental standards. Check that the 'Active Edition' specific trim features, such as any body styling or interior upgrades, are present and in good condition.

Given the model's aggregate data, it is worth checking the condition of the CV boots and the functionality of the windscreen washers, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet. Ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly without unusual noises, as this is the specific engine variant for this vehicle.

The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger displacement models. Fuel economy should be relatively high, making it suitable for both urban and motorway driving.

Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are typically manageable due to the high availability of parts. You should budget for standard servicing and consumables like tyres and brakes. The estimated annual running cost is based on average UK fuel prices, insurance, and routine maintenance.

Based on the MOT history for this specific vehicle, there have been no recorded defects, which is a positive sign. However, looking at the aggregate data for the Ford Fiesta model, you should pay close attention to the CV boots and the windscreen washer system, as these are noted top failure reasons for this model.

Additionally, check all exterior lighting, specifically the repeaters, as 'repeater not working' is a frequent failure reason in the wider sample of 1,780 vehicles. Finally, inspect the tyre tread and brake pads, as these are standard wear items that will be approaching service intervals given the current mileage.

This Blue Ford Fiesta Active Edition Turbo is a relatively recent 2021 model with 26,018 miles recorded at its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has undergone three MOT tests since its first registration, all of which resulted in passes with no defects recorded. With an annual mileage of approximately 5,200 miles, it is performing slightly below the model average of 6,067 miles per year.

The Ford Fiesta shows an 88.0% average MOT pass rate across 1,780 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to lighting, CV boots, and washer systems.
