Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a small petro
When viewing this white Fiesta, your primary immediate negotiation point should be the rear tyres. The 2026 MOT explicitly flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing; ensure these are replaced before purchase or agree on a price reduction to cover the cost of a new pair.
Beyond the tyres, check the service history for oil changes, as the 1.0L EcoBoost engine requires strict adherence to maintenance schedules. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures for headlamps, exhausts, or coil springs—which are common failure points for this model—you should still visually inspect these components during your inspection.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for urban driving. Expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are typically manageable due to the high availability of parts. However, you should budget for the upcoming tyre replacement and regular servicing. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Direct your attention to the rear tyres immediately, as the April 2026 MOT history indicates they are showing signs of age-related perishing or damage. This is a common issue if a vehicle sits for periods or if the rubber has reached the end of its life regardless of tread depth.
Additionally, although no defects were recorded in previous years, it is prudent to check the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs. These are identified as the most frequent MOT failure reasons for the Ford Fiesta model aggregate, so verifying their condition is a sensible precaution.
This 2018 Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 50,843 miles as of its most recent MOT in April 2026. The vehicle has maintained a clean record with no defects recorded between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent test noted perishing on both rear tyres. Given the model's average annual mileage is 5,770, this vehicle's usage is slightly higher than the statistical norm for this specific model type.
The Ford Fiesta shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across the aggregate data, with common failures typically relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
