2017 Fiesta SE, well maintained but not babied, Zero issues, Zero. Just outstanding!

Great!
There are a couple of parts that don't age very well.
The most important one being the coolant reservoir. They are not expensive to buy. But, if they burst or crack and you do not see the leaking from it, the engine will overheat and expire.
Many of us have replaced this part to prevent the overheating disaster.

Good to hear. Just keep the fluids changed and enjoy the great handling and fuel savings.

RE the coolant tank, I noticed another poster wrote:

I believe the coolant reservoir was only an issue pre 2014, there was a recall on them. No issue believe from 2014 onwards.

I am hoping it has since been resolved (mine is a 2017).

Ford evidently didn't tell the reservoir on my 16 Fiesta ST! It purged it's contents onto the freeway when it blew the last time.

Oh I am not saying you are wrong, just adding info I read here, from "Hackney".

After looking a little deeper, I ran across this from another source:

The potential vehicles it affects are those with a build date between 2/6/10 - 20/12/14 and with a vehicle ID number between WF0AXXWPMACS52904 and WF0UXXWPGUEA27692. There is actually a recall on this issue, not just a TSB. Recall number 10-B-19

There was more said but that was the pertinent part. That also seems to concur with what Hackney said. Again I am NOT disagreeing, just compiling information. I still have not found exact info from Ford yet.

Coolant tank replacement. Happy I did it...one less thing to think about.
