Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific vehicle, prioritize checking the condition of the four tyres. The most recent MOT in September 2025 noted cracking or perishing on both the offside front and offside rear tyres, which indicates they may be reaching the end of their safe service life regardless of tread depth.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance regarding the suspension. While the 2024 MOT recorded a deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover, you should verify if this was repaired following the test. Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers, as these were flagged as defective in the 2024 inspection.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically efficient for a small hatchback.
Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are usually predictable, though you should budget for routine items like tyres and wiper blades which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Focus your inspection on the rubber components and suspension. The MOT history specifically highlights issues with tyre perishing (2025) and a suspension arm ball joint dust cover (2024). Ensure these have been addressed and that there are no signs of weeping or play in the steering components.
Check the condition of the windscreen and wiper assembly, as the 2024 MOT noted a defective front wiper blade. Given the age of the vehicle, also inspect the battery and any other rubber seals that may be subject to the same cracking/perishing seen on the tyres.
This 2016 blue Ford Fiesta 1.2L petrol has covered 42,161 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 5,779 miles per year. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes since 2021, with no major failures recorded, though recent tests have flagged wear-and-tear items like tyres and wiper blades.
The Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across the dataset, with common failure points being headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
