Description
Ford Fiesta Style Climate, 1.25L, manual gears, registered July 2008.
My youngest son used this car to learn to drive and pass his test, so is now no longer needed.
It's perfect for a first-time driver as it's easy to drive, cheap to insure and good on fuel.
It's now 18 years old and has covered 144k miles with 5 previous owners.
Obviously, there is 18 years of use and has had two learners use it, so there is a small dent, scratches and scuffs.
It has partial old, stamped service history but since our ownership no stamps but it has been well looked after to ensure his safety whilst learning.
Since our ownership it's had new tyres, new brakes all round, new dampers, timing belt done at 138k (so only 6k ago), oil and filter changes and a new battery.
The spec includes,
Heated front screen, A/C, electric mirrors and steel wheels with trims.
The original radio has been removed and a pioneer installed by the previous owner.
.
Bad points.
The car hasn't been used much, (3 thousand miles since last MOT), and for some reason the ABS light intermittently comes on. Sometimes comes on and stays on for a few days’ other times just flashes on for one journey. At the minute the light is on as you can see so will need investigating. (I suspect possibly rust build up on a wheel sensor).
The A/C gas will need topping up and the remote key battery needs changing.
Sometimes the clutch thrust bearing squeals, not often, (and I suspect due to mostly standing), but it drives just fine with no clutch issues.
There are 3 keys.
MOT till Sept 2027
The engine is strong and quiet, and the gears change easily.
It starts first time every time.
There are no leaks and the power steering works great.
Good spare wheel.
I have the V5 and old MOTs along with some paperwork.
Just needs a little TLC and it will be fine for many more years.
There's no insurance on it now so will need trailering away or a policy on it to drive away.
I've described it as best I can but viewing at NG12 is welcome.
£800 ono.
