Since its launch in 1976, there have been eight generations of the Ford Fiesta and it's safe to say it's only got better with age. The latest iterations have been near or at the top of the supermini segment and the current model boasts practicality, tech and a great driving experience. For this video, we uncover all the do's and don'ts of buying a good used example of the Mk8 Fiesta. For her second in a series of Auto Express used car guides, Vicki Butler-Henderson covers every model.

Can't resist commenting and boring people to death with my car history! 1999 Zetec 1.25 with red seats. Best car I've ever owned. Absolute blast to drive, economical and bulletproof reliability. MK5 finnesse was basic and a bit boring but never had any issues! Lately MK7 Titanium for a week with the 1.6 Peugeot diesel. Was so impressed. Very refined and fun to drive. Love a good Fiesta. 👍
The Fiesta is my favourite supermini 😃👍. The best to drive, the best looking and overall all round :). Plus, I do see a lot of Fiesta's on the road :)
Can you please make a buying guide about the Mazda 2, From 2014 till now? Thank you 👍
Note: the automatic (DCT 7 Speed) has the 124 BHP petrol (turbo) engine from June 2020; there was a fairly slow 99 BHP with 6 speed torque converter gearbox before that. My 2020 model has a 2 year service interval.
Correct 😳. We have a pair, the 7spd DCT ST-Line X, which replaced our sluggish 6 spd Auto, and a ST3 which is a great little performer, with 40mpg.
Love you Viki!❤️
It is absolutely obvious that Vicki Butler-Henderson should be the lead presenter on Top Gear. Get the car people back in there, not the game show hosts.
I cant believe how they can make these videos and not mention the wet belt issue on the ecoboost 1.0
Love videos with Vicki!
I've had 6 Fiesta's, 2x 1100 Mk1
4 Fiesta Mk2...3 1600 DL and 1 Fiesta XR2!
So, the boggo on 16inch wheels is decent fun and really compliant, and bouncy on 15s. The ST-Line on 17s is excellent fun and not as uncomfortable as you'd expect. Glad I upgraded. The diesel is so unrefined in urban areas (but rapid) so avoid. The 100hp is adequate, fun, willing and economical (I average 52mpg on Zetec and 49 in ST-LINE), but I wish I'd gone for the 140hp as the ST-Line chassis is better than 100hp. Build quality is errrrr well let's just say the budget went on the dynamics. If you see a roundabout as an opportunity for entertainment, the ST-LINE is superb.
only thing that lets these down and i think will be the main killer for these are the £1500 cambelt changes, at 10 years old no one is going to be wanting to spend that much on an older car so i think these will be popular for about 10 years then completely die off.
Ford ruined the later fiesta. The 1.0 ecoboost engines are troublesome and mechanics hate working on them. These problems are well documented in the motoring press. Love older fiestas but not with the ecoboost engines.
It's just an ad...
Exactly. No mention whatsoever of the problems with the Ecoboost 1 litre engines.
Hope the Mk8 is better on fuel, the older 1.25 engines guzzle petrol even when driving economically
Are the one litre engines reliable?
They say it's very reliable and it's the first engine to win the international engine of the year award so often, no other engine has ever won so often.
@@marciomonteiro7818 I must have the only ecoboost engine to go wrong then?
108'000 miles so far on our ecoboost125bhp mk 7.5
1 set of spark plugs,1 battery,sod all else 😀
Mk8 ones are, but the Mk7 fiesta had lots of issues with them
@@matthewsmith2787 Maybe on the first versions of the engine however most mk7 have been fine. Grandparents have had 2014 version with no issues for 7 years and 65k miles.
Well worth buying a used mk8 Fiesta as you get all the equipment that has been omitted on the new facelift mk8.5 model due to Fords terrible shortages of semiconductors..........New mk8.5 no power fold/heated door mirrors, no lock/unlock internal door switch, no “one touch” widow opening across to whole range, along with much other equipment on the new model. 🤔
You forgot the MHEV 125 and 155hp versions
Also incorrectly stated servicing is every 12 months when it is infact 18,000 miles or 2 years whichever occurs first!
@@666DW mk8 fiestas, regarding the build date have either 1 or 2 years servicing. At least here in Portugal. Mine is the later, 2 years.
But I'll do a yearly pre-service because I really loathe the idea to have oil in the engine for 2 years.
Even more if is oil from the car break-in period.
@@SandStormPower My daughter has a 2021 Mk8 155ps MHEV ST Line X which has a service interval of 2 years or 18,000 miles. As she drives 1,000 miles monthly and on average 20 miles each journey the engine oil offers better protection than it would on shorter journeys.
With the advancement in oil technology most vehicle manufacturers are content to specify extended service intervals which helps with ownership costs.
@@666DW yes, I know and understand. Yet, a turbo engine and start-stop systems put a heavy strain on lubrication.
Oils are cheap (well, not so anynore), engines are not.
And a dirty oil even if does have all qualities still on their parameters, is already a saturated oil.
Same thing as showering myself with the same water over and over again
@@666DW i wouldn't be leaving it 18,000 on an ecoboost engine running 155bhp, as far as i'm aware and was told when i had my 7.5 remapped to similar power was to have oil and filter done every 6k or you run the risk of cambelt failure.
Production of the Ford Fiesta is coming to an end in June 2023
Sounds like a paid ad for Ford. They don’t have a great reputation where I come from and many Japanese companies are more popular and I think better.
Hasn’t helped me in the slightest..
fantastic 👍🏽
Oh dear the most unreliable engine ever developed is the ford ecoboost in any size 1.0 or 1.5 the vast majority are failing after only 3 yrs usually terminal hence the eye watering deprecation, that and a £1500.00 cam belt change cost. Still better than an ev though
