Worth a punt?
Hi all,
I'm off to look at this later: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...9252079960284/ Anything I should look out for? The clutch and cambelt were replaced last year and it has a good amount of service history - 1 owner. As I understand it, the 2.0T comes highly recommended? Previous car was a 2007 Ford S-Max that I had NO END of issues with, so looking forward to getting something that should be more reliable. Cheers Last edited by JAB88; Nov 10th, 2023 at 12:21. |

As Clan says ^^^^^^
It is a fairly high spec and does look well cared for. Check for rust underneath at the bottom of the front wings and also underneath at the rear of the sills - where the front of the rear wheelarch joins the sill. Any corrosion here is an mot failure.
