2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost ST-Line 5-door Hatchback

Description

So, I’ve been looking at this 2018 Ford Fiesta ST-Line for a while now — it’s one of those cars that just feels right. I bought it second-hand, and honestly, it’s been running great with only a few hundred miles on it since. It’s not flashy, but it’s solid — responsive, easy to drive, and doesn’t eat through fuel like some of the other little hatchbacks I’ve seen.

The 1.0L petrol engine kicks in smoothly, and it’s got that Euro 6 compliance, which means it’s cleaner than most older models. I’ve had a bit of a play with it — the touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto works well, and the DAB radio and Bluetooth are a nice touch. The interior’s clean, with leather trim on the steering wheel and gear knob, and the seats are a bit sporty — not too stiff, not too soft.

I’ve had it through a full AA inspection, which means it’s been checked properly from the ground up — brakes, suspension, lights, everything. It even passed a multi-point inspection, so I know it’s not just a "good looking" car, it’s actually safe and reliable. The alloy wheels (17-inch, 5x2 spoke, Rock Metallica) and the ST-Line styling — the front grille, side skirts, and fog lights — give it a bit of edge without looking aggressive.

It’s got a few features that come in handy: heated mirrors, automatic headlights, a trip computer, tyre pressure monitoring, and even a quick-clear heated windscreen. The rear seats fold down, and there’s room for a couple of kids or a small load. I’ve also noticed the NCAP pack is included — automatic headlight control, side airbags, and curtain airbags — so safety’s not an afterthought.

I’ve been driving it regularly over the last few months, and it’s held up well. There’s a bit of wear on the seats, but nothing major. The service history is partial, which I’m happy with — it shows the car’s been looked after, but not over-maintained.

I’m selling it because I’m moving to a new place and I just want to get a more reliable, practical car that doesn’t need constant maintenance. I’m based in Skipton, North Yorkshire, so if you’re local or nearby, I can meet up to show it off.

The price is £8,095.50 — it’s not cheap, but I’ve kept it running well, and it’s a solid daily driver. I’m happy to chat about finance or part exchanges if you’re interested.

I’m not a car expert, but I’ve been driving this one for over a year, and I’ve never had any major issues. If you’re thinking about a reliable, low-maintenance hatchback that’s not too flashy but still has a bit of character — this might be it.

Open 7 days a week — just pop in or give me a call. I’m always happy to show it around.
