Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the very low annual mileage, you should verify that the engine oil and filters have been changed at regular intervals regardless of distance. Pay close attention to the tyres; the most recent MOT in April 2026 flagged the nearside front tyre as being worn close to the legal limit, and a 2023 test noted perishing on three tyres. Negotiate a fresh set of tyres if they have not been replaced since the last test.
Check the service book for evidence of battery replacements, as vehicles with very low usage can suffer from battery degradation. Ensure all electronic components are functioning correctly, as low-use cars can occasionally develop dormant electrical faults.
The 1.2L engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and a competitive tax band for a 2016 petrol vehicle. Insurance costs are typically modest for the Fiesta, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs should remain low provided the vehicle is kept in regular use. Typical annual expenditures will include the MOT, basic servicing, and fuel, with an estimated total cost reflecting its small engine size.
Carefully inspect the tyres for cracking or uneven wear. The MOT history specifically mentions perishing on the nearside front, nearside rear, and offside front tyres in 2023, and wear on the nearside front in 2026. Ensure these have been addressed to avoid immediate replacement costs.
While this specific car has not failed for these items, you should check the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs, as these are the most frequent failure points for the Ford Fiesta according to aggregate data. A visual check for leaks under the engine bay is also recommended.
This 1.2L petrol Fiesta has covered 22,273 miles since its first registration in September 2016, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, although there have been recurring advisories regarding tyre condition. It presents as a low-use example of a widely popular hatchback.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across a sample of over 1.5 million vehicles.
