Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- On a manual, shift into second and third when cold and when warm. Second gear jumping out or grinding is a bad result.
- Turn the wheel at a standstill. A power steering warning light, heavy steering or a howl points to the pump.
- Listen for knocks and creaks over speed bumps. Check the last MOT (HU) report for worn suspension.
- Check the battery age and the charging voltage. A flat battery or a charge warning light points to the alternator.
- Open the tailgate and close it. If it opens by itself, check the handle switch.
- Check open recalls for the car's VIN with a Ford dealer.
