Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 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.
- Coolant Leaks and Expansion Tank FailureSerious
Expansion tanks, hoses and thermostat housings can leak coolant gradually. On 1.6 EcoBoost models, the degas hose recall (Recall 14S06/17S09) addressed a brittle hose that could split without warning causing catastrophic coolant loss.
