I just bought a 2011 ford fiesta with just over 100k km on it but was told that they could usually last up till 200k km. Any experience with how long they can last with decent maintenance and if so how to elongate their life span?
A car’s longevity largely depends on proper maintenance, but the challenge lies in not knowing how the previous owners treated it or what maintenance they performed.
Is the timing belt changed? That’s the first thing to check when considering a used car. Identify what engine your car has and explore the forums for more information.
My wife’s Fiesta just hit 200,000 miles. It’s still running, but the ride is pretty rough.
I have a 1.4 Diesel that’s well-maintained, with oil changes every 10,000 miles. It has 300,000 miles on the clock and is still going strong, with no issues.
I have a 2011 Fiesta with 270,000 miles on it, and it has been well maintained.
