Our Verdict
A fair example of the 1.0L Fiesta, but p
Focus your attention on the vehicle's alignment and suspension. The MOT history shows repeated failures and advisories regarding front tyre wear (2024 and 2026) and a recent failure of both front track rod end ball joints, which may indicate a need for a professional wheel alignment check. Ensure you verify the service history, specifically looking for evidence of oil changes and any work related to the 998cc engine's cooling system.
When negotiating, use the recurring tyre wear as a talking point to ensure the current set is in good condition and that the suspension work carried out in June 2026 was performed to a high standard. Request receipts for the track rod end replacements and the rear fog lamp repair to confirm these were addressed professionally.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. As a 2015 model, it falls into a relatively affordable tax bracket, and the Fiesta generally occupies a low insurance group, making it cost-effective for new or young drivers.
Maintenance costs are typically moderate, though the MOT history for this specific car suggests a tendency towards wear-and-tear items like tyres and suspension joints. Expect to budget for regular consumables and the occasional electrical fix, such as the bulb replacements seen in 2024 and 2026.
Carefully inspect the tread depth and wear patterns of the front tyres; the MOT history shows they have been worn close to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2026. Since both front track rod end ball joints were replaced in June 2026, check for any unusual steering play or noise when turning the wheel at low speeds.
Test all exterior lighting, including the stop lamps and rear fog lamp, as these have been specific points of failure in previous MOT tests. Finally, check for any signs of leaks or residue around the engine bay, keeping in mind that aggregate data for this model highlights exhaust and coil spring failures as common issues across the wider fleet.
This grey 2015 Ford Fiesta has recorded 71,221 miles, slightly exceeding the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history reveals a pattern of tyre wear and minor electrical faults, including a failure in June 2026 involving both front track rod end ball joints. However, a clean pass in May 2025 indicates the vehicle has had periods of defect-free testing.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
