2019 Ford Fiesta ST Line Edition Turbo

CarHunch analysed 104 real MOT records for the 2019 Ford Fiesta ST Line Edition Turbo. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Fiesta ST-Line Edition Turbo passes its MOT on first attempt 85.2% of the time, which is a solid 5.2 percentage points above the UK average, though the concerning note is that 22.1% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded at least one dangerous defect—this is notably above the acceptable threshold and worth investigating on any used example you're considering. At 31,803 miles on average, these cars are running relatively light for their age, yet they're still accumulating 0.65 failures and 3.7 advisories per vehicle, suggesting that wear items and minor issues are beginning to emerge despite modest mileage. Before purchasing, have a trusted mechanic inspect the vehicle's history for any flagged dangerous defects—particularly around brake systems and suspension components—and don't rely on the first-attempt pass rate alone as your confidence metric.

What to check before buying a 2019 Ford Fiesta ST Line Edition Turbo

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.
  • ⚠️ 22.1% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
