Things to look out for when buying a Used Fiesta ST150

Used FiestaST150 Buying guide

I get asked questions about what to look out for when buying a Fiesta S150 all the time so I decided to put together a big video together with everything you'l need to know when going to buy a Fiesta ST150.

Any other issues I haven't mentioned put them down in the comments so we can help people when they're looking to buy their Fiesta ST!

It's split up into three sections:

1. Walk Away - Walk away form the sale, these are things that are gonna be to expensive to fix or make a car underivable!
Bottom end knock
Gearbox issues
Timing chain slack (rattle)
Waterpumps
Burning oil

2. Re-negotiate the price - These are things you can use to wiggle a better price out o the car during negotiations.
Power steering pump
Stiff gears when hot
Thermostat stuck open £15 easy job
PCV valve (dodgy idle)
Stalling in reverse (idle issue)
Seat catches / handles snapped / not working
Wheel arch rust
Heated front window partially working
Pre-facelift (make sure engine is cold before starting having issues starting up first time - ECU update £90
Broken Springs are common - will fail or be an advisory on an MOT so I’d check the paperwork and check the springs
Rusty Brake lines
Heated seats
Auto wiper, lights and folding mirrors working?

3. Dont worry - these are thing you don't need to worry about with the car so go ahead with the purchase!
Crunch into reverse
Dodgy idle on cold startup
Some Warning lights on the dash
Bonnet Stone chips
