Our Verdict
This Ford Fiesta is a solid option for buyers seeking a low-mileage city car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with no recorded defects in the most recent tests.
When inspecting this specific 1.0L Fiesta, check the service history to see how the engine has been maintained, as these small-capacity turbocharged engines require regular oil changes. Given the MOT history, verify that any previous issues that led to failures have been fully addressed.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the mileage is low, the vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in its recent history. Ensure you check the tread depth on all tyres and the condition of the headlamps, as these are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for lower insurance groups and tax bands. Fuel economy should be relatively high, particularly for urban driving.
Typical maintenance costs for a Fiesta of this age include regular servicing, brake replacements, and tyre changes. You should budget for these standard running costs alongside fuel and insurance.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and tyre condition, as these are the most frequent failure reasons across the 1.5 million vehicles analysed.
On this specific vehicle, although the most recent MOT passed with no defects, you should inspect the tyres for uneven wear and check the headlights for any clouding or electrical issues. Given the 2023 failure, it is also worth checking the general underside of the car for any signs of exhaust wear.
This 2016 blue Ford Fiesta with the 998cc petrol engine has covered 42,542 miles since its first registration in October 2016. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent pass in November 2025. While there were failures in 2023 and 2025, these were resolved to achieve subsequent passes.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failures related to lighting, exhaust, and tyres.
