Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to structural concerns. While the mileage is impressively low, the recent MOT failure for significant corrosion requires a thorough structural inspection before purchase.
The primary focus for this specific Fiesta must be the structural integrity. The 2025 MOT failure noted 'excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength...'; you must ask if this has been repaired to a professional standard rather than just patched for the test. Check for signs of alignment, as previous MOTs show both the nearside and offside front tyres were found worn on the edge, which often indicates tracking issues or suspension wear.
Review the service history specifically for the water pump replacement noted in 2024 to ensure the coolant system was properly bled and the leak was fully resolved. Given the history of trailing arm bushes perishing back in 2023, verify if these have been replaced, as worn bushes can degrade handling and cause premature wear.
The 1.2cc petrol engine is generally economical, falling into a lower insurance group and modest tax band. You can expect respectable fuel economy, around 45-50 mpg depending on driving style.
Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are typically low as parts are plentiful, though you should budget for suspension consumables given the recorded history of wear. Estimated annual costs including fuel and basic maintenance are between £900 and £1,200.
Perform a close inspection of the lower sills and rear suspension mounting points where corrosion was previously flagged in August 2025. Look for bubbling paint, uneven surfaces, or fresh welding that might indicate hidden rust repairs. Also check the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the history shows multiple failures related to edge-wear.
Check the engine bay for any signs of dried coolant residue, as a water pump leak was recorded in 2024. Test the car on uneven roads to listen for knocks from the rear suspension, as the trailing arm bushes were noted to be perishing previously.
This 2014 Ford Fiesta sits at relatively low mileage of 55,965 miles, which is below the typical average for its age. However, while it has passed its most recent MOT, the August 2025 failure revealed excessive corrosion on the lower sill and suspension mounting area. The vehicle has shown a history of maintenance issues including water pump leaks and suspension wear, suggesting it may require ongoing mechanical attention.
The 2014 Ford Fiesta is generally considered reliable, though the 1.2 Zet engine is known for water pump issues as they age.
