Ford Fiesta Quartz (1994)
1994 Ford Fiesta Quartz
CarHunch is tracking 841 1994 Ford Fiesta Quartz vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1994 Ford Fiesta Quartz is deeply unreliable by any standard: just 10% pass on first attempt versus the UK average of 80%, and petrol versions fare even worse at 0% first-time pass. No vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is the only bright spot, but the systematic failure rate makes this car a poor choice for a buyer seeking dependability.
At an average mileage of 51,812 miles for a 30-year-old car, these Fiestas are genuinely low-mileage survivors, yet they're still failing MOT repeatedly—suggesting rust, wear, and age-related deterioration rather than abuse. If you're considering one, budget heavily for repairs and use a pre-purchase inspection by a Fiesta specialist to identify exactly which components are failing, because the statistics show you'll need work done before it passes.
We have 841 1994 Ford Fiesta Quartz vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1994 Ford Fiesta Quartz
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.
