Our Verdict
Recommended as a sensible city car, prov
Your primary focus should be verifying whether the advisories from the October 2024 MOT were rectified. Specifically, ask for evidence that the exhaust flexy pipe leak was repaired and the corroded nearside rear lower coil spring was replaced. You should also check if the severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers on the front suspension were renewed.
As with any vehicle of this age, request the full service history to see if the maintenance intervals align with the mileage increases seen between 2022 and 2025. Negotiate the price if the 2024 suspension and exhaust issues remain outstanding, as these are known weak points for this model.
The 1.0L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which typically results in lower annual road tax and a competitive insurance group. Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are generally manageable due to the high volume of parts available across the UK.
Annual running costs will be influenced by the driver's insurance profile and fuel usage, but typical expenditures for this engine size and model are relatively low compared to larger petrol alternatives.
Carefully inspect the exhaust system for any signs of a leak or a split flexy pipe, as this was explicitly flagged in 2024. Check the rear suspension, particularly the nearside rear coil spring, for signs of heavy corrosion or cracking, which is a common failure point for the Fiesta according to aggregate data.
Additionally, examine the front suspension arm ball joint dust covers. If they are still deteriorated or torn, it could lead to premature joint failure. These checks are critical as they directly reference the specific defects recorded in this vehicle's MOT history.
This blue 2017 Ford Fiesta with a 998cc petrol engine has recorded 51,475 miles. The MOT history is generally positive, with clean passes in 2022 and 2023, although the 2024 test highlighted several wear-and-tear advisories. The most recent 2025 test was passed following a minor failure related to stop lamps.
The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures frequently involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
