Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When inspecting this specific Fiesta, pay close attention to the steering and suspension. The MOT history shows recent issues with track rod end ball joints and a front wheel bearing with play; you should test the car for any pulling to one side or unusual knocking sounds from the front end. Ensure the technician checks the condition of all CV boots, as this was a failure point in 2024.
Negotiate based on the frequency of MOT failures. The 2025 failure was particularly extensive, covering lighting, steering, and battery security. Ask for evidence that the rear stop lamps, position lamps, and the insecure battery have been professionally rectified. You should also verify that the brake fluid level has been addressed, as this was flagged as being near the minimum mark in both the failure and the subsequent pass.
The 998cc petrol engine is generally designed for efficiency, making it suitable for low-emission zones and urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically competitive for a small hatchback.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 1.0L Fiesta are usually relatively low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers. However, maintenance costs may be impacted by the recurring nature of wear-and-tear items like suspension components and bulbs, which have appeared frequently in this vehicle's recent history.
Focus heavily on the front-end mechanicals. Given the 2025 MOT failure regarding the offside front wheel bearing and the 2024 failure regarding a fractured coil spring, a test drive is essential to listen for any rhythmic humming or clunking sounds.
Check the electrical integrity of the lighting system. The record shows failures for both rear position and stop lamps, as well as an insecure headlamp. Ensure all exterior lights are functioning correctly and that the housing is secure. Finally, inspect the battery mounting; the 2025 MOT noted the battery was insecure, which can lead to electrical connection issues if not properly fixed.
This 2014 black Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has covered 68,763 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,779 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of failures involving track rod ends, wheel bearings, and lighting, alongside a recent failure for multiple defects including brake fluid levels and insecure components. The vehicle's maintenance record shows intermittent issues with drivetrain and suspension parts, such as a fractured coil spring and a deteriorated CV boot in 2024.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
