Advice needed - Ford Figo

[neoprema]

This past weekend I was driving on the highway for around 40km up until I took a off ramp and came to a stop at a intersection my car a 2014 ford figo 1.4 suddenly died. I caught a glimpse of the oil light quickly switching on and off before the engine shut off sounding like a cold diesel engine, there after the radiator fan came on at full speed for 10 min. Trying to start it came to no avail as if the battery was almost empty ( guess u could say it was struggling to turn)

After a quick inspection i saw the water reservoir was completely bone dry.

Called a tow truck and got it dropped of at my place. 2 days later I filled it back up with water when i saw the water running out from the bottom of the radiator quite quickly. Tried starting the car but no crank at all, ive previously had problems with the battery and suspect it might be dead however I wont be surprised if the engine siezed.

I would appreciate any opinions on how bad the damage could be? I understand i would need a mechanic to take a look at it however i do not want to spend unnecessarily if it wont be worth it.

I want to add that the oil has no metallic or milky white look to it.

Take it to Ford? They will know instantly, and will fix it and if they don't do it properly you can go back and complain.

I had the Gen 2 also in Red, lovely bike, had mine just on 2 years, im a bit vertically challenged and they are quite tall so i kept almost dropping at robots so i decided to trade it in on my lifelong dream brand, a 2013 Harley sportster superlow, but the baby 883. Ive had it a little over a month and a bit. It had vance and hines short shots that made the bike splutter and jerk at low rpm and according to the dealer and harley thats normal if it hasnt got tuner installed and that tuner box is crazy expensive so i sourced stock pipes which needed new o2 sensors because the aftermarket ones are not compatiable, sourced 2nd hand ones from a harley mech near me, needless to say things escalated from there and i now have a Harley 48 replica with ape hangers and spoked wheels with white walls, it looks awesome and runs great with the stock pipes.
