Hi,
A friend of mine wants me to go view a 57 plate Fiesta Zetec S with him. It has 37000 on the clock and comes with a FSH. What I would like to know is, are there any specific things I should look for when viewing ?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

There was a recall on the clutch peddle on the early ones.The misses has one on a 06 plate other than a update on the ecu and a coil pack it's never missed a beat.Make sure no one has tried pulling of the bumpers or spoiler off which is common.Have some start to rust on the inside bottom of the door, mines ok so that one should be.

 

Honest John is always a good place to look if you're buying a new car and uncertain of any major issues that may have been reported. Contributions are made by people in the trade, so they're generally (although not always) pretty reliable.

The 'What's Bad' tab is the one to look for; particularly the 'What To Watch Out For' section. Here's the relevant bit for the Mk6 Fiesta. Not much to worry about on the petrol Zetec-S, by all accounts; I've certainly not heard of any major model-wide problems yet: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar...2/?section=bad
