Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
The most critical point for negotiation is the gearbox oil leak, which was noted as 'not excessive' in 2025 but became a failure point in March 2026. You should request a detailed invoice showing whether this leak was actually repaired or simply cleaned for the MOT test.
Additionally, check the service history to see if the 1.0L engine has had regular oil changes, as this is vital for this engine variant. Given the recent failures for tyres and brakes, ensure that these parts were replaced with quality components rather than the cheapest available options to avoid immediate repeat costs.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. This vehicle will fall into a relatively low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket for its age, making it an affordable daily driver.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car. The MOT history shows a pattern of needing new brake discs, track rod ends, and tyres, suggesting that the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear components require more frequent replacement.
Focus your inspection on the gearbox area; look for fresh oil residue or staining on the underside of the engine bay, as this has been a recurring MOT issue. Check the inner tread of the front tyres to ensure the wear noted in March 2026 has been corrected and that the wheel alignment is now correct.
Inspect the brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring, and test the brake pedal feel to ensure the 'excessive fluctuation' noted in the 2026 failure has been fully resolved. Finally, check the operation of the windscreen washers and wipers, which were both flagged in the most recent test.
This red 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L has recorded 92,888 miles. The MOT history reveals failures in both 2025 and 2026, specifically concerning brake components, steering joints, and a recurring gearbox oil leak. It presents as a typical high-use example of this model with several age-related wear points.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
