Before you buy this car
From the generation guide
- Timing belt: ask for proof of a belt change at 60,000 km or less. A bad result is no proof.
- Coolant: with the engine cold, check the coolant level and look at the water pump and thermostat housing. A bad result is a wet trace or low coolant.
- Rust: check the door seams, tailgate and bonnet edges by hand. A bad result is bubbling paint.
- Wheel bearings: rock each wheel at top and bottom. A bad result is play.
- Stabiliser links: drive slowly over bumps with the window open. A bad result is a knock or rattle from the front axle.
- Idle: let the petrol engine idle cold. A bad result is a low or hunting idle, or stalling.
- Recalls: ask a Ford dealer to check the VIN for open campaigns. A bad result is an open campaign.
