- ✓If buying a PowerShift automatic, drive it hot and cold in traffic as hesitation or judder means expensive clutch work.
- ✓On 1.0 EcoBoost models, insist on proof of correct Ford-spec oil and check whether the wet belt has been replaced.
- ✓Test both sliding doors and their locking mechanisms; faulty door sensors and latches are common niggles.
