Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Petrol, New Clutch, New Cambelt, New Tyres, New Service, HPI clear
Due to acquiring a company car, I am testing the water with this absolute steal for someone wanting a solid reliable car with over £1,500 spent in the last few months. I’ll start with the good points: A brand new clutch, gearbox oil, sparkplugs, brake fluid and near side front inner rack joint were all replaced in August 2025 with a garage invoice present for £702 A new timing belt and tensioner pulley kit, auxiliary belt, offside front wheel bearing, offside front ABS sensor were all replaced in February 2025 with a garage invoice present for £527.15 Four new tyres were fitted and the air conditioning was regassed in January 2025 at a cost of £312 As you can see, a total of over £1,500 has been recently spent with the two major and most expensive jobs being done and out of the way. The bodywork and interior are both in excellent overall condition for the age with no dents or scratches and no rips or burns. It is also fitted with stunning genuine 15” alloy wheels which are still available to purchase from Ford for £768 or £550 second hand on eBay. On the last MOT it only had two minor advisories which were the rear bushes, but both were done It is a perfect first car, delivery driver car or just a cheap runaround and mechanically perfect. Don’t be put off by the mileage as it drives like a car with half the miles and all the major jobs have been done. It is the very sought after bulletproof 1.25 litre Zetec engine, it is very cheap on insurance and fuel for young drivers and will do 500 miles on a full tank of fuel. With a perfect manual 5 speed gearbox, smooth clutch and beautiful engine, and there are no warning lights on the dash. It has electric windows, electric mirrors, cd player and radio, central locking, air conditioning and alloy wheels. Mechanically the car is perfect and drives exactly as it should and will get you anywhere you need to go. Now the not so good points The MOT expires at the end of November 2025 and will need some minor welding done to both rear arches to pass. It will also need a front balljoint. I’ve been quoted £250 for the work. If you can do the work yourself it will cost less than £50. It could also do with a full valet It is priced to sell at £1,000 and the price is firm. If there is no interest, I will have the welding done and relist for £1,750 which will still be a bargain due to the recent money being spent.
