Our Verdict
A sensible choice for low-mileage driver
When inspecting this specific 1.1L petrol Fiesta, pay close attention to the braking system. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted that the nearside front brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored on the inner surface. You should check if the brake pads and discs have been replaced recently or if further work is required.
Given the history of tyre-related advisories in 2023 and 2025, check the tread depth and condition of all four tyres, looking specifically for uneven wear or perishing. Because this is a small-capacity engine, ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes to maintain the 1084cc unit.
The 1.1L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this Fiesta in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should account for routine consumables like tyres and brake components, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a small petrol car.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. The MOT history highlights a trend of tyre issues (cracking/perishing in 2023 and edge wear in 2025) and brake disc wear in 2026. Check the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues.
Additionally, while not flagged in this vehicle's specific history, the aggregate data for this model suggests that headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs are common failure points across the wider Ford Fiesta fleet. It is worth checking the brightness of the headlamps and the integrity of the exhaust system during your viewing.
This 2018 Blue Ford Fiesta has covered 25,125 miles since its first registration in April 2018, which is notably lower than the model's average annual mileage of 5,829. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor wear-related issues, such as tyres and brake discs, rather than major mechanical failures. With no recorded defects in 2022 or 2024, the vehicle presents a relatively consistent record.
Aggregate data from over 1.5 million vehicles shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
