2004 Focus 1.6 Zetec - What to look out for.
Going to have a look at a 04 plate Focus 1.6 Zetec this arvo. Want it as a cheap runaround. A daily runner.
Got my eye on one. 70,000 miles. FSH. MOT till next Aug. High equipment levels (incl. parking sensors!).
Only MOT advisories were corroded coil springs, which I know is a common problem on Fords. And I believe is a cheap fix.
What should I be aware of when having a look at the car? Known issues/faults? Common problems?
The car is £1400 which seems low for the mileage, but reasonable overall. Could it be too good to be true? Or is the average?
Any advice welcomed. Be gentle!
