What to know
The Fiesta's 64.2% pass rate is below both Ford's own already-below-average brand figure (68.7%) and the national average (72.4%). This is based on the single largest dataset of any model in the country, over 1.1 million tests in 2025 alone, so it's a genuinely robust, representative result rather than a small or skewed sample.
Production of the Fiesta ended in the UK in 2023, so every example on the road now is at least a few years old, and the used market spans a very wide range of condition, from lightly used examples to high-mileage former first cars. Checking a specific car's MOT history matters more here than for almost any other model, given how much variation exists within it.
