There's probably only 5 on the road, they're a povvo spec 5 door WS Fiesta with a circa $30K price tag

It doesn't make sense compared to the WZ Fiesta Sport with its 1L 3 cyl Ecoboost that makes nearly 30KW more power and only 30nm less torque (at an earlier 1400 RPM and maintaining to 4500 RPM) without the diesel issues.

Diesel hatches suck these days, they had this short period of being a good buy when the option was a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine or turbo diesel, but now there's turbo unleaded engines on offer, pass on the diesel engine.
