Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This vehicle has h
Prioritise checking the service history for evidence of a timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical for the 1.0L engine at this mileage. Given the February 2026 failure for a tyre with cords exposed and another with a bulge, verify that all four tyres have been replaced with quality brands and have sufficient tread.
Negotiate the price based on the recurring brake disc wear noted in both 2025 and 2026. You should also request proof that the 'Lambda reading' failure from February 2026 was properly diagnosed and repaired rather than just cleared, as this can indicate underlying engine management or catalytic converter issues.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and falling into a lower VED tax bracket. Insurance costs for the Fiesta are generally competitive, making it an affordable city car in terms of monthly outgoings.
However, at over 116,000 miles, maintenance costs are likely to increase. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and exhaust components, which have already appeared in this vehicle's MOT history.
Closely inspect the front brake discs, as they have been flagged as 'worn but not excessively' in multiple tests (2025 and 2026). Check the rear exhaust system for any signs of patching or leaks, following the failure and subsequent advisory in February 2026.
Examine the rear suspension and axle bushes; while a failure was recorded in 2025, these are known weak points for the model. Finally, check the tyre sidewalls for any remaining bulges or uneven wear that could suggest alignment issues, referencing the serious tyre failures recorded in the most recent test.
This black 2014 Ford Fiesta has covered 116,144 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for this model. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures, most recently involving tyre integrity, exhaust leaks, and lambda readings in February 2026. While it currently holds a valid MOT, the recurring advisories regarding brake wear suggest a need for immediate attention.
Based on data from over 1.5 million vehicles, this model has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with frequent failures related to headlamps and exhausts.
