2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi DPF Edge 5dr Hatchback Diesel Manual

Description

So, I’ve got this 2012 Ford Fiesta TDCi Edge in the 5-door hatchback, manual gearbox — it’s not flashy, but it’s solid. Only 44,824 miles on the clock, which for a car this age feels pretty low. It’s got that 1.4L diesel engine, which is a bit of a gem — efficient, quiet, and doesn’t eat through fuel like some of the other diesels out there. I’ve got it to about 69 mpg, so I can go on longer stretches without thinking about refuelling. That means fewer trips to the station and more time to actually do stuff, not just drive.

It’s also a low CO2 model, so the road tax is minimal — and the insurance group is low too, which is great if you’re new to driving or just want to keep costs down. The safety stuff is decent: anti-lock brakes, ESP, EBA, airbags front and rear, seat pretensioners, and all the modern bits like electric mirrors, power steering, and heated mirrors. The seats are a bit basic, but the 60/40 fold-down back is handy for small kids or when you’re doing a bit of cargo.

I’ve kept it fairly simple — no fancy upgrades, just clean, reliable bits. It’s got a V5, a radio with CD and AUX, power windows, remote central locking with two keys, and a decent bit of storage. The paint is metallic, and the bumpers and rear spoiler are body-coloured, so it doesn’t look too factory-new.

It’s currently in Chryston, North Lanarkshire, and I’m not looking to sell it fast — just want to get it to a good home where it can be used regularly without too much hassle. I’ve had it for years, and it’s been mostly driven on local roads. It’s not perfect, but it’s reliable, low-maintenance, and has actually held up well.

Price is £4,499.10 — I know it’s not cheap, but it’s a solid, sensible car with real value. If you’re looking for something practical, fuel-efficient, and easy to drive, this might just be what you’ve been searching for.
