Description
For sale is my Ford Fiesta Zetec that I've owned for roughly 8 years now. The car is SORN off the road for the only reason of I didn't want to pay for two vehicles tax, MOT and insurance. Here are some points below:
The Good:
. Clutch was replaced 31/08/23, this was the first clutch replacement from now, clutch has about 10000 miles on it currently - 385.66
. Brand new set of Romac alloys wheels added 16/11/23 - 660
. New Steering pump added 16/08/25 - 129.19
. New headlights added 20/11/24 - 177.08
. Car has roughly 82000 miles on the clock for a 2008 car
. Car comes with a Pioneer DMH-A240DAB already fitted, old stereo comes with the car too, I'll fit which once you'd like into the vehicle
. Car is fitted with 5% privacy tint for rear windows, this can be removed easily
. Engine is mechanically sound, no issues with the engine and start-up, has always started first time
. Insurance is pretty cheap, insurance group is good for the car
. Car comes with a front and rear camera
. Two sets of keys
The bad:
. Rust spots are appearing, all are cosmetic damage currently but the bonnet has a few and the passenger door on drivers side has some appearing
. Passenger side mirror does not retract in when locking the car, due to buying the wrong version
. Car can be quite loud as back box does not have much noise dampener in (bought a cheap exhaust to fix rust holes)
. Selecting 1st gear can stick at times, mechanic said it's the linkage/selector and not the gearbox, common issue for this car
. No full service history, most of the work was carried out by myself or my dad who was a mechanic for 30+ years (take that how you want!)
. Failed most MOTs first time around and fixed the issues for my second go around, this was just easier for me to do
. Car is currently SORN off the road
. Tax is on the pricier side, 130 a year
I will not lie to you about anything with this car, she has been a great daily driver for me for years but I got something a bit more fun and have no use for her anymore. The car is sold as seen, it can't be test drove due to being SORN.
