Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific Fiesta, confirm that the rear coil springs and axle bushes identified in the 2025 MOT failure have been replaced with new components. You should also check the track rod end, which was flagged for excessive play in the 2025 test, to ensure the steering feels precise and free of play.
Ask the seller for evidence of the work carried out following the August 2025 failure. Given the history of tyre wear being noted in 2024, it is also worth checking the current tread depth and ensuring the tyres are not wearing unevenly, which could indicate alignment issues.
The 998cc engine is positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this small-capacity petrol engine is typically quite high, especially in mixed driving conditions.
Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic suspension component replacements given the patterns seen in the MOT history. The estimated annual running cost is moderate, reflecting its small engine and typical UK motoring costs.
Focus your inspection on the rear suspension area. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of corroded coil springs (noted in 2023, 2024, and 2025) and worn axle bushes. Ensure there are no signs of weeping from shock absorbers or unusual knocking sounds when driving over bumps.
Additionally, check the front steering components. The 2025 MOT failure specifically cited a nearside front track rod end ball joint with excessive play. Verify that the steering is tight and that there are no vibrations through the steering wheel at speed.
This 2016 Blue Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 45,109 miles, which is relatively low for its age. While the MOT history shows recurring issues with rear coil springs and suspension bushes, the most recent test in August 2026 passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's mileage history suggests it has been used less intensively than the model average.
Aggregate data for this model shows coil springs are a common failure reason across the fleet.
