Things to check
- Community-reported coolant leak history for 1.5L EcoBoost engines (2018–2018) is a major red flag for this specific engine.
- Turbo failure and overheating issues are also reported for 1.5L EcoBoost engines (2014–present), aligning with the reported coolant leak.
- The 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration to cylinders causing engine lockup (2013–present) is a known widespread failure for this engine type.
- The Ford Escape 1.5L EcoBoost engine block design flaw causing coolant leaks and cylinder wall degradation (2018–2018) is a critical historical issue.
Working in its favour
- MOT history shows a single minor failure (lights) in 2024, immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,759 miles/year) suggests light use and potential for lower wear on components.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects are present in the MOT test history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until December 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
