- ✓On any 1.0 EcoBoost, insist on proof of the correct Ford-spec oil and check whether the early coolant hose update has been done.
- ✓If buying a diesel, read the MOT history for DPF or emissions hints because these cars dislike repeated short urban trips.
- ✓Do not assume the facelift cured the old leak points; inspect the boot and rear light seals for dampness before focusing on infotainment or trim.
