Our Verdict

Strongly recommended for buyers seeking

Ensure you verify the full service history, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and not mechanical maintenance. Given the March 2023 registration, check if the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty is still applicable, which provides significant peace of mind for a vehicle of this age.

When negotiating, use the mileage—which is slightly above the model average—as a talking point. Confirm that the 1.0L engine has had its oil changes performed at the correct intervals to ensure long-term reliability.

With a small 998cc engine and Euro 6 AP status, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency and low emissions, which typically translates to competitive road tax and fuel economy. It will likely sit in a mid-range insurance group, making it accessible for a wide variety of drivers.

Typical annual costs will include fuel, insurance, and a basic annual service. Based on the engine size and model type, the estimated annual running cost is relatively modest compared to larger petrol vehicles.

Although the MOT on 2026-03-24 recorded no defects, be mindful of common Fiesta failure points identified in aggregate data, such as headlamp functionality, exhaust integrity, and the condition of the coil springs. A visual inspection of these components is advised.

Check the exterior blue paintwork for any stone chips or scuffs. Additionally, ensure all electronic systems and infotainment features are functioning correctly, as these are key components of the 2023 model's value.

This blue 2023 Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and is Euro 6 AP compliant. It has covered 19,332 miles as of its March 2026 MOT. The vehicle's history is currently limited but positive, with no defects noted during its most recent inspection.

The Ford Fiesta has a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across over 1.5 million vehicles analysed.
