- ✓A manual 1.25 Zetec-SE is the easiest one to recommend; the old 1.3 Endura petrol and 1.8 diesel feel slower and rougher.
- ✓Inspect the sills, rear arches and rear beam mounting area underneath rather than trusting shiny paint or fresh underseal.
- ✓Make sure the cabin heat changes properly and the rear axle feels settled over bumps, because heater valves and axle bushes are common age-related costs.
