Our Verdict
This 2015 Ford Fiesta presents a mixed M
When inspecting this Fiesta, request a comprehensive paper trail to verify how past mechanical issues—such as the 2025 engine management light, lambda sensor faults, and track rod end play—were resolved. Check whether components like the front suspension arms and sub-frame have received any protective treatment following the recent corrosion advisories. Because the vehicle has covered over 102,000 miles, ensure that major service items and wear-and-tear parts have been replaced in line with its higher-than-average mileage.
Negotiate on price if there is no recent evidence of suspension or exhaust maintenance, keeping in mind that previous failures involved emissions and structural attachments like the front bumper. A pre-purchase independent mechanical inspection is strongly recommended to assess the severity of the noted underbody and sub-frame corrosion.
Equipped with the 998cc petrol engine, this Fiesta typically offers competitive fuel economy for daily commuting, though actual figures will depend on driving style and route profiles. Insurance groupings for this engine variant are generally modest, making it accessible for a wide range of drivers.
Maintenance and repair costs should factor in potential work related to the sub-frame, suspension arms, and ageing exhaust components flagged in recent tests. Estimated annual running costs, covering fuel, insurance, road tax, and routine maintenance, are projected at £1,200 to £1,500.
Pay close attention to the front sub-frame and nearside front suspension arm, which received corrosion advisories during the January 2026 test. Inspect the underside thoroughly for the slight corrosion noted by the tester.
Examine the steering and suspension components, particularly verifying the condition of the offside front track rod end that failed in 2025. Check the exhaust system from the rear joint forward, given the historical record of lambda reading anomalies and major exhaust leaks, and test all exterior lighting and electrical systems to ensure the engine management light remains off and headlamps operate correctly.
First registered in June 2015, this red 998cc petrol Ford Fiesta has covered 102,344 miles, placing its mileage significantly above the national model average of 5,770 miles per year. Its MOT history reveals a pattern of past failures, including a 2024 exhaust leak and lambda reading defect, as well as a substantial 2025 failure list covering tyre wear, a Malfunction Indicator Lamp, track rod end play, and an insecure bumper. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026, it accumulated advisories for underside corrosion and sub-frame degradation.
The Ford Fiesta holds an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.7% across more than 1.5 million vehicles analysed, though common failure points for the model include headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
