Years: 2014-2022, with the 2019 facelift. Hatchback, saloon and estate. Petrol 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 EcoBoost and a 2.0 hybrid. Diesel 1.6, 1.5 and 2.0 TDCi, then 1.5 and 2.0 EcoBlue from 2019.
The Powershift gearbox on 2.0 TDCi cars (2014-2019) and the timing belt that runs in oil on the 2.0 EcoBlue (2019 on) are the main risks.
Reliability: 3/5. The engines themselves show few confirmed faults, but the Powershift gearbox and the EcoBlue belt can be costly.
DIY: 2/5. Gearbox, belt and EGR work needs a workshop and a scanner.
Prefer: a car with full service records, including gearbox oil changes on a Powershift car.
Avoid: a 2.0 TDCi Powershift with no gearbox oil records, and a 2.0 EcoBlue with no record of the belt.

Issue	Affects	Typical km	Repair cost
Powershift gearbox	2.0 TDCi with Powershift, 2014-2019	Not stated	No confirmed price
EcoBlue timing belt in oil	2.0 EcoBlue, 2019 on	Replace about 100,000-110,000 km (Kolesa.ru)	No confirmed price

On a Powershift car, drive from cold and check for judder when pulling away and jerky shifts. Ask for gearbox oil change records. A scanner reads the gearbox fault codes.
On a 2.0 EcoBlue, ask for proof of the timing belt inspection or change. Without it, budget for the belt job.
On a diesel, have the fault memory read for EGR codes P0401 and P0402.
Check the brake disc wear and ask when the brakes were last done.
Test the Sync screen, navigation and Bluetooth, and ask whether the software was updated.
Ask a Ford dealer to check open campaigns for the car's VIN before you buy.
