Our Verdict
A fair option for those seeking a diesel
Prioritise checking the service history, specifically for oil changes and timing belt intervals, which are critical for the 1.6 diesel engine. Given the 2023 MOT failure for multiple tyres—including one with exposed cords—verify the current brand and condition of all tyres to ensure they are of a reputable brand and not budget replacements of poor quality.
Negotiate based on the status of the rear axle bushes. These were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025; if they have not been replaced, this represents an upcoming maintenance cost that should be reflected in the purchase price.
The 1.6 diesel engine is generally efficient, making it a viable choice for drivers with longer commutes. Annual costs will include road tax based on its 2014 diesel emissions bracket and insurance, which typically falls into a moderate group for the Fiesta range.
Typical maintenance for this age of diesel includes fuel filter replacements and potential DPF cleaning if used primarily for short city trips. Expected annual costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing are estimated in the mid-range for small diesel cars.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension; the MOT history recorded worn axle swivel pins and bushes in both 2024 and 2025. A technician should confirm if these have been replaced or if there is still excessive play in the rear axle.
Additionally, inspect the rear exhaust silencer, which was noted as corroded and loose in May 2023, to see if it has been repaired or replaced. Finally, check the front brake discs and pads, as these were flagged as wearing thin during the 2023 inspection.
This silver 2014 Ford Fiesta Diesel has covered 92,300 miles, which is above the model average. While the most recent MOT in April 2026 was clean, the history reveals a significant failure in 2023 due to tyre neglect and repeated advisories concerning the rear axle bushes. It represents a typical example of this model with a mixed maintenance record.
The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
