Question 1

What are the known problems of the Ford 1.0 EcoBoost?

Accepted Answer

Its timing belt runs in oil and must be inspected or changed at Ford's interval, with the specified oil grade, or it can break up and block the oil pickup. Early engines, from about 2012 to 2014, also suffered coolant leaks that could lead to overheating.

Question 2

How much road tax does a used Ford petrol car pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor that rises with emissions, NEDC for cars first registered before 2021 and WLTP after. A 1.0 EcoBoost Fiesta or Puma pays little, while a Mustang V8 pays far more.

Question 3

Is a used Fiesta ST or Focus ST a good buy?

Accepted Answer

The Fiesta ST from 2018 uses a 1.5 three-cylinder turbo and the Focus ST from 2019 a 2.3 four-cylinder; both reward careful owners. Look for signs of track use and modifications, and for worn tyres and brakes.

Question 4

Does the Ford EcoBoost Hybrid need charging?

Accepted Answer

No, it is a 48-volt mild hybrid: a belt-driven starter-generator assists the 1.0 EcoBoost and recovers energy when braking. It cannot drive on electricity alone and is taxed like any petrol car on its CO₂ figure.
