Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- 1.6 EcoBoost Overheating and Head Cracking (Recall 17S09)Serious
Localized overheating can cause the cylinder head to crack, leading to a pressurized coolant leak and potential engine fire. A global recall retrofitted a coolant level sensor and software warnings.
- Powershift Transmission FailureSerious
Juddering and mechatronic failure on the 2.0 TDCI automatic models.
- 1.0/1.5 EcoBoost Wet Belt DegradationSerious
The oil-bath timing belt on early EcoBoost engines sheds material if servicing or oil quality is wrong. Rubber debris clogs the oil pickup strainer, causing oil starvation and potential total engine failure. Ford recommended 10-year interval is widely considered too long.
