    I have found 2 Ford Fiestas I like, with low mileage (circa 50K) and around 9 years.

    Run away. Mileage is too low for the age. They've either spent all their time doing short journeys which is bad for a car or sitting not being used which again is bad for a car. Look for one thats done an average of 8000-10000 miles a year.

    Or they've had a meeting with a drill / laptop ;)

    I do agree though.
