My much loved first car. I am the second ever owner. I have owned the car since less than 10,000 miles. I purchased the card from a Ford Dealership. I have had a few scrapes and bumps over the years (see pictures).
I have taken care of the car, with 1 independent garage service, 1 Ford Service and Halfords for the rest. Most of the service history is digital. Also encourage you to look at the MOT history, the recent miles are motorway miles, driving between London and the midlands twice a week. I changed 2 tyres in the last 12 - 18 months, with good quality all weather tyres.
The reason for the low price is that the car needs gearbox work. On cold start, the gearbox is fine. After the car warms up to temperature, the gearbox struggles as the clutch is being lifted to put the car into first or third gear. It's an intermittent issue. I believe it's a synchroniser issue, but I have not had it diagnosed. The car CAN be driven as is and recently passed its MOT. This car is perfect either for someone looking for spares / repairs, or someone looking for a cheap car with acceptance that the car's life is going to be limited or that they need to get the gearbox repaired at some stage once they can afford it.
Importantly, this is one of the few fiesta mk8 / more modern cars which does not have an ecoboost wetbelt engine. The ecoboost wet belt engine is notorious for unreliability. I am confident the car has much more life in it if someone is happy to invest in resolving the gear box.
