About this car

An automatic Fiesta under five thousand pounds, with one owner from new and sixty-one thousand miles behind it. That combination is genuinely hard to find, and it is the reason this car will not sit on the forecourt for long.

One lady owner from new. It has never been a fleet car, never been a rental, and never been passed round a family. One person bought it, drove it, and looked after it.

The 1.6 automatic is the easy one to live with. No clutch in traffic, no hill starts, no hunting for second on a school run — it is the box most buyers actually want and the one most small cars at this price do not have. As a 2016 petrol it is ULEZ compliant, so it goes into the zone without paying the daily charge, and running costs are about as predictable as they come — every garage in the country knows this car and parts are on the shelf everywhere.

It comes to you with twelve months’ MOT and one key.

Why it is priced at £4,999

This car is recorded with the DVLA as Category S. It was declared an insurance write-off after structural damage, has since been professionally repaired, and is back on the road, MOT’d and fully road legal.

That record is the whole reason the price starts with a four. The same car with nothing on its history file would be worth meaningfully more, and we would rather explain that to you now than have you find it on an HPI check later. Bring a mechanic, put it on a ramp, take your time. We have nothing to hide from you.
