Our Verdict
A sensible small-car choice if the service history is robust, but the history of MOT failures suggests a need for a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
When viewing this specific Fiesta, prioritize checking the service history. The 1242cc engine is generally reliable but relies on regular oil changes to avoid longevity issues. Given the car failed its MOT in 2024 and 2025, ask the seller for the specific reasons for these failures—whether they were related to consumables like tyres and brakes or more serious mechanical faults—and ensure they were properly rectified.
Check for common Ford Fiesta issues of this era, such as wear on the steering rack or rear-link suspension. Since the car has over 66,000 miles, verify if the clutch has ever been replaced, as these can begin to reach the end of their life at this mileage.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good real-world fuel economy suitable for tight UK budgets. It falls into a relatively low tax band and modest insurance group compared to larger vehicles, making it an economical choice for daily commuting.
Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are generally low as parts are widely available and affordable. You should expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,300, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing requirements.
Pay close attention to the MOT history; the vehicle failed its tests at 62,404 miles and 66,645 miles. This suggests a pattern of items needing frequent attention. Inspect the depth of the tyres and the condition of the brake discs, as these are common points of failure on this model. You should also check for any corrosion on the undercarriage that might have contributed to previous MOT failures.
During the test drive, listen for knocks from the front suspension when going over bumps, which is a known trait for this Fiesta generation. Ensure the engine runs smoothly without overheating or oil leaks, particularly around the head gasket, which can be sensitive if the cooling is neglected.
This 2014 Ford Fiesta features the 1.2L petrol engine and sits at 66,645 miles, which is consistent with average usage for a vehicle of this age. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the history shows two failures in the last two years, indicating recurring issues that require attention. The white paintwork and small engine displacement make it a practical option for city driving and new drivers alike.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta is generally considered a reliable hatchback, though the 1.2L engine requires consistent maintenance to maintain peak performance.
