Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless you can verify a comprehensive service history. While the most recent MOT was clean, the mileage is significantly higher than the national average for a car of this age and model type.
The primary concern for this specific vehicle is the mileage; at nearly 100,000 miles, you must check if major components like the timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Ask the seller for physical evidence of when this work was carried out, as it is a critical maintenance item for the 1.2cc engine.
Given the MOT failures in 2024 and 2025, ask exactly what the issues were, even if the digital record shows 'no defects' on the subsequent pass (which often happens if the repairs were made immediately). Look for a consistent service history to ensure the high mileage has been compensated for with.
The 1.2L engine is generally fuel-efficient, typically sitting in a lower insurance group and modest tax band. You can expect decent figures around 45-50 MPG depending on driving conditions and vehicle load.
Maintenance costs for the Ford Fiesta are generally affordable, but at this mileage bracket, you should budget for more frequent replacements of items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Typical annual costs including fuel and tax are estimated between £900 and £1,200.
Inspect the underside for signs of exhaust corrosion and leaks, as these are common failure points for this model across the aggregate data. Check the condition of the tyres and headlamps, which are noted as top reasons for MOT failures in the Fiesta fleet.
Pay close attention to the clutch operation and gearbox during the test drive; at 96k, the clutch may be nearing the end of its life. Check for any oil leaks around the engine block, which can occur on higher-mileage petrol units.
This 2014 Ford Fiesta features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 96,355 miles, which is well above the average annual mileage of 5,839 miles. Although the last two MOT tests passed without recorded defects, the vehicle has a history of failures in 2024 and 2025. It represents a common small hatchback, but the high usage suggests more wear than a typical example.
The Ford Fiesta is generally reliable but the 1.2L engine requires strict adherence to service intervals to avoid high mileage issues.
