Ford Fiesta Quartz Diesel (1991)
1991 Ford Fiesta Quartz Diesel
CarHunch is tracking 101 1991 Ford Fiesta Quartz Diesel vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Ford Fiesta Quartz diesel has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80% — a serious red flag for any potential buyer. None of the 101 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is the only positive signal in an otherwise concerning picture.
These cars are now 33 years old and appear to be in such poor condition that every single one fails its MOT on first attempt. The lack of mileage data and zero recorded failures or advisories suggests these vehicles may no longer be actively maintained or roadworthy; if you're considering one, a full pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is essential, because the MOT result alone indicates fundamental mechanical or safety issues that need professional diagnosis.
We have 101 1991 Ford Fiesta Quartz Diesel vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1991 Ford Fiesta Quartz Diesel
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
