Why do people say Fords are unreliable? They are one of most reliable and durable cars on the road and rarely see them broken down. VW and other German cars seem to fail more often

Because many people don't maintain their cars properly and mistakenly believe that a car's reliability is based on how long it will last without maintenance. They also don't use their cars the way the engineers intended. Just change the oil regularly and don't drive like a knob and your car will last.
Got a 2007 1.25 with 161k miles so far, getting a new clutch tomorrow since it's just barely started to slip. It's still got the factory clutch and that's had.... more than it's fair share of burnouts and hard driving haha. Only mechanical problem I had was the head gasket went, but 700 quid and 8k miles later and it's still running mint. Most solid car I've seen with my own eyes and real cheap to repair too, see them all the time on the road still.

Several cars around this era where particularly robust. IMHO this was the tipping point when technology was robust and reliable and before too much technology was added to meet spurious EU Emissions rules. The Astra 1.6 and 1.8 petrols around the same time, Focus petrols, Mondeo petrols. All cheap and robust. Simple times. The interiors of Fords of this era where also almost indestructible .

I currently drive a 2005 three door fiesta 1.6 litre 5 speed manual with 312,000kms on the clock and it’s a wonderful little car! I got the car in 2019 and only payed $800aud for it, the car had 214,000kms on it at that time. It’s starting to cost more to maintain now but I love the car so much! I plan on driving it for as long as I can. My goal is to get to at least 500,000kms with this car. I’d say so far my car is one of the highest kilometre fiestas in Australia. Fiestas the same age as mine are starting to become something you don’t see often here so I’d love to keep the car going and maybe start taking it some all ford shows when I have done some body work and tidied it up a tad. Fiestas are awesome!

If they are really giving us problems over a genuine issue and not working with us its just simple refund, sort and sell to someone else. been doing this to many years to get bogged down with customers who will never be happy with a car no matter how much you do for them.

Would be a shame it's been a great little car to have, generally affordability to run and for parts. So easy to handle and stays with the road, Swings well round corners. Being a 1.2, though, takes a while to build up speed along motorways or A roads but does get there.

steering rack not a bad job tbh, would be worth doing if the engine is good,

I have a 2014 fiesta zetec 1.25 petrol. Is it the same engine as this older version? Hope mine lasts this long 😀

You picked the right engine, the 1.0 eco boost engine drives well and pulls better but is not remotely reliable, the 1.25 you have will give you years of good service with some minor tlc servicing.

Oh that’s good. Love my car. Super slow but it’s great. Yeah I’ve heard terrible things with those eco boosts
Sounds bad mate as much as cars like this sell quick I’ve gave up trying to flip the cheaper stuff rather be around the £2500-£4500 market with £850+ margin in the car. You spend the same amount of time / prep on the car as you would the older buckets but yet at least there is a decent reward at the end

18 months ago I would agree with you, however near me there is nothing with Mot and in good order in the small car market for sub £1k, the days of £500 car with mot are gone, we will turn it around and it will sell without any issues, barmy I know 🤷

I would of just sold it on for my money back because if u had to pay a mechanic and buy tyres there would be no profit in it
Paid to much but with clutch and a service got to be worth 1500 to somebody so decent profit to be had yet
