Buying Tips for the 2000 Ford Fiesta Mk5 (BE91 facelift)
- ✓Carefully check the inner and outer sills, floor pan, and rear wheel arches for rust, as corrosion protection was still quite poor.
- ✓Listen for a 'tappety' or ticking sound from the 1.25 or 1.4 Zetec engines; they need regular oil changes to prevent top-end wear.
- ✓Verify the operation of the heater control valve, as it is just as prone to failing (stuck on hot or cold) as in the Mk4.
- ✓Inspect the front suspension for knocking over speed bumps, which usually points to worn anti-roll bar drop links or lower arm bushes.
- ✓Check the condition of the red master key (if applicable) and ensure all keys start the car, as the early PATS immobiliser system can be temperamental.
