2012 Ford Figo 1.4 tdci

Morning All

I need some advice on the above.

Just over 100K on the clock, one owner. Full Ford service history available, new cambelt has been fitted.
Should I be concerned about the 'turbo' aspect?
Are there other aspects I should be aware of?

I appreciate your help.

If its got a complete service history from the dealer you have nothing to worry about, especially if the motor plan is still valid its a good buy.

Turbo failures are usually caused by carbon build up restricting the oil and breather pipes.

Just make sure to let the car idle for a minute or 2 before driving off in the mornings, as well as before you switch the car off at your destination.

I'm light on the accelerator in the morning until the oil temperature gauge starts to move.

You can also switch out the oil filter half way between service intervals. It catches all the rubbish in the oil and is very cheap to replace.

If you test drive it. Start it from cold then accelerate before the oil warms up properly. If the turbo is on its way out, you will easily hear the turbo whistling from inside the car.
