Used Ford Fiesta for Sale

Want to see how the Ford Fiesta handles before choosing a used example? Our Ford Fiesta review sits above, walking through the cabin, the drive and the trims you'll find on the used market.

Is the Used Ford Fiesta a Good Buy?

Yes, and being discontinued is part of the reason. A car that ends production while still selling in its hundreds of thousands doesn't fade from demand the way an unloved model does. The Fiesta's continued popularity on the used market keeps values firmer than most superminis its age, so that shallow depreciation curve is money that stays in the car rather than draining out of it.

It helps that the everyday Fiesta is cheap to run. Across the 1.0 EcoBoost petrol cars in Vertu's current stock, real-world economy sits around 51mpg, road tax is £200 a year, and insurance starts from group 12. Those low monthly costs suit a first set of wheels and a sensible second car alike.

Every used Fiesta sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt, as part of our used car preparation process. That covers no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. Alongside whatever manufacturer warranty remains, it's what makes a used Fiesta from Vertu a low-risk way into Britain's favourite supermini.

Who Is the Used Ford Fiesta Best For?

Four kinds of buyer get the most from a used Ford Fiesta, each suited to a different trim in the range.

Will a Used Ford Fiesta Still Be Serviced and Supported?

A used Fiesta is as easy to keep on the road as almost anything on the used market. Its decades at the top of the sales charts left millions of examples on UK roads. Ford's dealer network and independent garages alike know the car well and keep parts readily available, so a discontinued nameplate doesn't mean a discontinued support network.

Vertu keeps that support close to home. Our Ford servicing team works to manufacturer standards with manufacturer-trained technicians and fixed-quote pricing, so the price quoted is the price paid, and every visit includes a complimentary health check. A Priority Service Plan can spread the cost monthly for owners who prefer to budget ahead.

Cover carries over too. Where a manufacturer warranty is still running, it transfers to you with the car, and a full service history, kept up through regular servicing, helps protect the strong resale value the Fiesta already enjoys.

Used Ford Fiesta Trims and Specifications

The used Ford Fiesta is best understood as one sensible supermini offered in four characters, and the trims you'll most often find at Vertu are Trend, Titanium, Active and ST-Line. The mechanicals underneath stay much the same, so choosing between them is really about the look you want and how much equipment you'd like to come with it.

Trend is the value entry, though far from basic, with cruise control, lane-keeping aid, automatic LED headlights and SYNC infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Titanium steps up the comfort and convenience, adding items such as keyless start, rear parking sensors and SYNC navigation. Active takes the range off the beaten track in looks, with raised ride height, rough-road suspension and rugged cladding. ST-Line goes the other way, with a body kit, large rear spoiler and sports suspension for a sportier stance.

The table below sets out how equipment builds across these four trims, a useful reference if you're comparing used Fiestas on the forecourt. It covers features and equipment; performance figures sit in the Engines and Performance section further down.

Equipment varied by model year and options, so exact features differ from car to car. Cells marked "TBC - verify" are confirmed on some stock but not universal across the trim. This specification reflects the later Fiesta (broadly 2021 onward); earlier cars, and any pre-2021 example, may differ in trim names, equipment and engine availability.

Used Ford Fiesta Engines and Performance

Nearly every used Fiesta you'll find runs the 1.0 EcoBoost petrol engine, and the version that dominates the forecourt is the 100 PS. It's the engine to plan around: a turbocharged three-cylinder that pairs willing town performance with real-world economy of around 51mpg. It reaches 0 to 62mph in 10.8 seconds and emits 120 to 127 g/km CO2 depending on specification.

Some Fiestas add the step up to the 1.0 EcoBoost mild-hybrid, and it's worth knowing what it changes. A 48-volt system does the work. A belt-driven starter/generator adds a little electric assistance during acceleration, while a battery under the front passenger seat recharges itself through the engine and regenerative braking, with no cable needed at any point. In the 125 PS manual it lifts combined economy to as much as 57.6mpg and quickens the 0 to 62mph sprint to 9.4 seconds. It does sit a few insurance groups higher than the standard 100 PS car, though.

Almost all of these cars are manuals, which suits the Fiesta's light, keen handling. An automatic is available, but only as the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox fitted to mild-hybrid cars, and it's scarce on the used market. The table below compares the two engines most likely to be on the forecourt.

WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a guide for comparing models rather than a promise of real-world results. Actual economy varies with weather, driving style, road conditions and load. These figures reflect the later Fiesta (broadly 2021 onward); earlier examples may differ in engine specification and performance.
