Our Verdict

Recommended. This Fiesta ST-Line Edition

Focus your attention on the braking system. The MOT history shows rear brake discs and pads were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2023 and 2025; you should confirm if these components were replaced prior to the clean 2026 test.

Ensure the service history is complete, specifically looking for regular oil changes which are essential for the longevity of the 999cc turbo engine. Given the ST-Line Edition trim, verify that all interior and exterior trim pieces are intact and consistent with the model's specification.

The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for efficiency and falls under Euro 6 DG standards, making it compliant with UK low-emission zones. Insurance costs for the ST-Line trim are typically moderate, though this depends on the driver's profile.

Annual costs will include the standard VED tax for a 2020 petrol vehicle and routine maintenance. Based on the engine size and model type, typical annual running costs are estimated to be mid-range for the supermini class.

Specifically inspect the rear brake discs and pads. While the 2026 MOT was clean, the 2023 and 2025 records explicitly noted pitting and wear on both the nearside and offside rear brakes.

Additionally, check the exhaust system and windscreen wipers, as these are listed as top MOT failure reasons for this model across 10,907 analysed vehicles. A visual check of the exhaust for corrosion and a test of the wiper blade condition is advised.

This grey Ford Fiesta has recorded 29,686 miles since June 2020, which is well below the average annual mileage for this model. It has passed all four of its MOT tests, although it had recurring advisories regarding rear brake wear between 2023 and 2025. The most recent test in June 2026 was completed with no defects recorded.

The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 86.9%, with brake pads being a common point of failure across the model range.
