- Structural Corrosion (Sills and Rear Arches)Serious
Mk4 Fiestas are now heavily exposed to rust around the sills, rear wheel arches and rear suspension mounting areas, and structural welding can quickly exceed the value of an average car.
- Rear Suspension Bush WearModerate
The rear axle bushes soften and split with age, making the car feel loose at the back and often leading to MOT advisories or fails.
