Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a fuel-ef
Focus your attention on the recent MOT advisory regarding the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, as this will likely require replacement in the near future. You should negotiate the cost of this repair into the final purchase price. Check the service history specifically for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical maintenance items for this diesel engine at this mileage.
Verify that the vehicle has a documented history of regular oil and filter changes. Given that the car has surpassed 100,000 miles, evidence of consistent maintenance is more important than the mileage figure itself.
The 1.6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for those with higher annual mileage. It generally falls into a moderate insurance group and offers competitive fuel economy compared to petrol alternatives of the same era.
Annual costs will include road tax, diesel fuel, and routine servicing. Maintenance costs may increase slightly as the vehicle ages, particularly regarding suspension components and emissions system upkeep.
Specifically inspect the nearside front suspension for the 'slight play' noted in the May 2026 MOT. While this specific vehicle has not failed for these items, you should check the coil springs and exhaust system, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Fiesta model overall.
Perform a visual check of the headlamps for clarity and operation, as these are also common failure points across the model aggregate data. Ensure the brakes and tyres are in good condition, as these are standard wear-and-tear items for a vehicle with over 100,000 miles.
This black 2014 Ford Fiesta has recorded five consecutive MOT passes since 2022, reaching a current mileage of 102,719. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing without defects until a minor suspension advisory in May 2026. It represents a high-mileage but consistently tested example of the 1.6 diesel model.
The Ford Fiesta has a general MOT pass rate of 77.7% across over 1.5 million vehicles analysed, indicating a stable reliability profile.
