Is the 2003 Ford Fiesta a reliable second car?

I am looking to buy a used car and was looking at a 2003 Ford Fiesta LS 1.4. But I have since heard from a friend that they give a lot of trouble. Should I look for something else and if so any recommendations appreciated. It will be a second car so won't be doing much mileage.

Do I need to replace old tyres that appear fine still?

Hi, just wondering what the story is with tyres that are six or more years old. Mine passed in August with pass advisory and my NCT is up in a couple of weeks, but the tread on the tyres isas good as new as it has only done 2,000 miles. Will I need new tyres or will they go by condition of the set I have?
