Our Verdict
A highly recommended example for those seeking low-mileage motoring. The consistent MOT history shows no recorded defects over the last five years, making this a statistically strong candidate.
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has been serviced regularly to prevent issues related to infrequent use, such as rubber perishability or fluid degradation. Check the service book to see if oil changes have been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule, rather than just by mileage intervals.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent maintenance beyond the MOT. While the MOT history is clean, it does not confirm mechanical upkeep. Look for consistent stamps in the service history and check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related wear despite low usage.
The 998cc engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this Fiesta in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity models. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback, making it an economical choice for urban driving.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads. Based on the low annual mileage, your estimated annual running costs should remain relatively predictable.
While this specific vehicle has had no recorded MOT failures, you should be aware that common failure points for the Ford Fiesta include headlamps, exhaust systems, and coil springs. It is worth inspecting the headlamp clarity and checking the exhaust system for signs of corrosion.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components and coil springs for any signs of fatigue or damage, as these are frequent issues across the wider model aggregate. Given the low mileage, also check the battery health and the condition of any rubber seals or hoses which can degrade over time even if not heavily used.
This 2016 Ford Fiesta features a small 998cc petrol engine and has covered 25,145 miles as of its last MOT in February 2026. With an average annual mileage of approximately 4,200 miles, it sits well below the model average of 5,835 miles. The vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record with zero failures or advisories since its first recorded test in 2022.
Across 1,514,444 analysed vehicles, the Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failures relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
