Our Verdict
A highly attractive option for buyers se
Given the low mileage of 35,995 miles, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has received regular oil changes, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to sludge buildup. Ask the seller for evidence of service history to complement the clean MOT record.
When negotiating, check if the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced, as these are often due around the 10-year mark regardless of mileage. While the MOT history shows no issues, always verify the condition of the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components.
The 1596cc petrol engine is a standard choice for this model, typically offering a balance of performance and reasonable fuel economy for urban and motorway driving. Insurance groups for the Fiesta vary, but this engine size is generally mid-range for its class.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are typically manageable due to the vast availability of parts. You should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads, though the MOT data for this specific vehicle has not flagged any recurring issues in these areas recently. Estimated annual running costs are moderate.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should remain mindful of common Ford Fiesta failure points identified in the wider model aggregate data, such as headlamps, exhaust systems, and coil springs.
Specifically, check the operation of the headlamp units and inspect the underside for any signs of exhaust corrosion. Given the low mileage, also inspect the suspension components and tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing due to age rather than wear.
This 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol presents with exceptionally low mileage, having covered only 35,995 miles in approximately 12 years. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes since 2022 showing zero defects recorded. This combination of low usage and a defect-free testing history makes it a standout candidate within the model's wider data set.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across the analysed fleet, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs being the most frequent reasons for failure.
