Ford Fiesta Vignale Edition Turbo: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Ford Fiesta Vignale Edition Turbo passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 14.4 percentage points.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 91.1% first-time pass rate means roughly 9 in every 100 Ford Fiesta Vignale Edition Turbos presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Ford Fiesta Vignale Edition Turbo tested had covered 21,645 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Ford Fiesta Vignale Edition Turbo sits 14.4 points above the national average, ranked 529 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
