The 1.0 ecoboost has overheating problems, in some cases catches fire. Dont want to scare you but google it.

Ours has been fine. I know there were some issues, but nothing major as far as I could see when I checked before buying the Fiesta a couple of years back

After the horror stories iv heard and read about the 1.0 ecoboost i wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.

The 1.25 which lasted almost 20 production years is the daddy. Ford should have refined and turbocharged that engine instead for reliability.

There is?

Assuming you don't mean autotrader, which is by far, not a list of every car on sale, I'd love to know what database you're referring to.

It’s nothing like one of those threads, he’s not asking for a review.

Obviously I have. And gumtree and local dealers.

But I thought I'd see if an smb member would like to click a few quid out of a deal . Fucks sake, you'd think I've pissed on a tramp or something.

Go to a Ford dealership, preferably a small private one and get them to look up on the computer whats coming off the Motability fleet. The car will be two to four years old well looked after and probably low mileage. Got my C-Max that way and have never regretted it.

Dealers buy cars in to sell to people. That's the point of the thread!

Have to be far less specific than op at the auctions:

Looking for an S-MAX around 4 years old, under 60k miles in spotless condition. Not too bothered about the engine or gearbox. Titanium spec though, must have cruise!
