Nissan Micra/Fiesta/Peugeot - Used cars 24 Sep 2018 (Forum)
I know it's about the cars performance and reliability but don't want anything pre 2003-teenage daughter doesn't want to be rolling up at her mates in a matchbox on wheels! Kids eh? So main questions; Dealer or private? Min MOT length? Max mileage? (Recently been told high mileage doesn't necessarily mean that it's a nail as long as it's got good MOT history (absolutely love the MOT checker on the web) Love fords as easy to get parts for but Father in law has had issues with every ford he's had (mainly focus and mondeo (coil packs, munching oil etc) Love pugs too but would prefer diesel although diesels are like rocking horse crap to get hold of. -

Ford Fiesta 2010 - Do I need to change timing belt before its time? 16 Aug 2016 (Forum)
I had to borrow a fair amount of money to buy it and can't afford any purchases these next few months but I have read horror stories on the net. I am planning to have it done in the next six months for peace of mind but just wondering if it s a bit of a risk. On the report from the mechanic, it s written the driving belts are in good condition but I suspect this did not include the timing belt. Unfortunately, there are no service history or repair receipt.
