Our Verdict
Recommended. This 2016 Ford Fiesta prese
Given the low annual mileage, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct time intervals regardless of distance. Check for any signs of tyre perishing or 'flat spotting' which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
Negotiate based on the current state of the consumables. While the MOT record is clean, ensure the 1.0L engine's specific maintenance requirements have been met. Verify that there are no outstanding recalls for this 2016 model year.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically resulting in low annual road tax and a modest insurance group. Fuel consumption is generally efficient, particularly for urban commuting.
Typical maintenance costs for the Fiesta are competitive due to the wide availability of parts. You can expect a modest annual spend on servicing and consumables, keeping total running costs low.
Inspect the headlamps to ensure they are correctly aligned and functioning, as the vehicle previously failed an MOT in December 2022 due to the offside front headlamp aim being too low.
While this specific car has a clean recent record, the wider Fiesta dataset shows that exhausts and coil springs are common failure points; therefore, a visual inspection of the underside for corrosion or suspension damage is advised. Finally, check the date codes on the tyres to ensure they are not aged beyond their safe usable life.
This black 1.0L petrol Fiesta has covered 29,856 miles since its first registration in December 2016. Its MOT record is notably clear, with only one minor failure for headlamp aim in 2022 and no defects recorded in the three most recent tests.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs being the most frequent reasons for failure.
