Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the very low annual mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed regardless of distance. Check that the 1.2L engine starts smoothly and that the brown paintwork has been kept in good condition. You may have room to negotiate the price based on the need to replace the nearside rear tyre mentioned in the latest MOT.
The 1.2L petrol engine is economical for city use, which should keep fuel expenditures low. This model typically falls into a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an affordable option for new drivers or commuters. Typical maintenance for this engine is straightforward and widely supported by UK garages.
Specifically inspect the nearside rear tyre for the cracking or perishing identified in the March 2026 MOT. While this individual vehicle has a clean history, be aware that aggregate data for Fiestas shows headlamps, exhaust systems, and coil springs as common failure points; check these areas for any signs of wear. Ensure the suspension is firm and there are no unusual noises from the exhaust during cold starts.
This brown Ford Fiesta 1.2 petrol has covered 46,086 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. It has passed its last five MOT tests, with four of those recording no defects. The most recent test in March 2026 noted a single advisory regarding a tyre.
The Ford Fiesta has a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across 1,516,729 analysed vehicles, suggesting a generally reliable platform.
