At a glance
- Years: built 2017 to 2023. The 2022 facelift brought a new nose and LED matrix lights. Diesel ended in 2020.
- Most common: the 1.0 EcoBoost oil pump drive and coolant leaks are the engine risks. Lights, springs and dampers are the usual inspection faults.
- Reliability: 3/5, because TÜV results are average and the 1.0 EcoBoost oil pump fault can destroy the engine, but most other faults are small.
- DIY: 2/5, because the buyer checks are simple, but engine and belt work needs a garage.
- Prefer: a car with records of belt and oil pump work on a 1.0 EcoBoost, and recall fixes done.
- Avoid: a 1.0 EcoBoost with no oil pump or coolant records, or one that is losing coolant.

Before you buy
- Ask for records of oil pump drive and wet timing belt work on a 1.0 EcoBoost. Bad result: no record, or an oil pressure warning light. No scanner needed.
- With the engine cold, check the coolant level and look for wet stains at the thermostat housing and hoses. Bad result: low coolant or a leak. No scanner needed.
- Ask a Ford dealer to check the VIN for open recalls. Bad result: an open campaign with no fix done. Recalls for the fuel line, seat belt retractor and steering ball joint are in the table. No scanner needed.
- Read the last inspection report for springs and dampers, and drive over a bumpy road. Bad result: springs or dampers flagged in the report, or a loose ride. No tools needed.
- Test low beam, front lamps, turn signals and the rear lights. Bad result: any light weak or out. No tools needed.
- Look under the car for exhaust leaks and listen for rattles on a cold start. Bad result: a leak or a loose exhaust. No tools needed.

In detail
Oil pump drive on the 1.0 EcoBoost
The oil pump drive on the 1.0 EcoBoost can fail and destroy the engine. The AUTO BILD long-term test car lost its engine this way: AUTO BILD says a retaining bolt in the oil pump module came loose, and that the fault was permanently fixed in 2018. gebrauchtwagenberater.de blames a quality problem with the oil pump drive belt.
About 1,300 cars built in Germany until early 2018 were affected (gebrauchtwagenberater.de and CarWiki, with near-identical text). Ford reviews cases on goodwill ("Kulanz"). No mileage or repair cost is given for this car. The full wet belt and oil pump detail is in the 1.0 EcoBoost guide.

Coolant leaks on the 1.0 EcoBoost
The AUTO BILD long-term test car first lost coolant. gebrauchtwagenberater.de and CarWiki (near-identical text) report a leak at the thermostat housing and say the repair means replacing the cylinder head gasket. No price or mileage is given for this car. The coolant hose detail is in the 1.0 EcoBoost guide.

Weak lights in inspection
AUTO BILD's TÜV figures rate the low beam, front lamps and turn signals as weak. The rear light of the Mk8 is below average. AUTOHAUS says the lighting of all model years draws criticism. No fix or price is stated.

Worn springs and dampers
In AUTO BILD's TÜV data, worn springs and dampers are flagged "too often" on cars aged four to five years. Of that group, 85.2% passed with no defects, against an average of 84.7%. Cars aged two to three years: 92.0%, against 89.4%. The four- to five-year group averages 53,000 km. No fix or price is stated.

Exhaust defects after the second inspection
Both AUTOHAUS and AUTO BILD report exhaust defects from the second inspection onward. Neither gives a fix or a price.

Maintenance
- Keep the coolant at the level in the handbook. At each service, check for leaks at the thermostat housing.
- Ask for the wet timing belt and oil pump records. In June 2026 Ford started a 1.0 EcoBoost belt programme with a shorter belt interval (autoevolution, The Autopian); the Mk8 is not named. Ask a Ford dealer whether it applies to the VIN.
- At each inspection, check the lights, springs, dampers and exhaust. These are the points TÜV testers flag on this car.
