  Petrol EcoBoost engines can crack their block or head, so watch the coolant. Check the PowerShift clutch, diesel injectors and the AWD transfer case.

Known issues for this car

Before you buy this car

From the generation guide

1. Drive from rest and in traffic. Judder, jerks or slow pull-away from the PowerShift can point to a worn clutch. Ask for the gearbox oil change record.
2. On a 2.0 TDCi, ask for injector and EGR work. Injectors can clog from about 50,000 km. A scanner reads EGR and DPF fault codes.
3. On a 2.0 TDCi, ask about particulate filter work and check for a filter warning lamp. The known fault has a software update fix.
4. On AWD cars, have a workshop check the transfer case mounting screws on a lift. Broken screw threads have appeared after over 100,000 km.
