How much is road tax on a Ford Fiesta?
Most used Ford Fiesta in stock pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year — 63% were first registered on or after 1 April 2017, when road tax became a single annual rate regardless of CO₂. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.
There are currently 14 used Ford Fiesta models for sale on Motoring Today, spanning model years from 2014 to 2020. Understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), commonly known as road tax, for these cars is crucial for UK buyers. The amount of VED you pay depends entirely on the car's first-registration date and its CO2 emissions or fuel type. Because the specific figure varies by individual vehicle, it is essential to check the details for any particular Fiesta you are considering. For cars first registered before April 2017, VED is calculated based purely on their CO2 emissions band. This means cars with lower CO2 output generally incur lower annual road tax. However, for Ford Fiestas first registered from April 2017 onwards, a different system applies. These vehicles pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate in subsequent years. Additionally, cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 when new are subject to an annual surcharge for five years. Fully electric cars have historically been exempt from VED, though this exemption is changing. For models like the Ford Fiesta, which are typically powered by petrol or diesel engines, VED remains a key consideration. To confirm the exact VED for any specific Ford Fiesta on our marketplace, please refer to the individual car's details on its listing page.
