Nothing here looks off
Fraud signals are detected through listing text analysis and cross-referencing with DVLA records. Results may include false positives - a flagged listing is not necessarily fraudulent, and a clean result does not guarantee legitimacy. Always verify in person before purchase.
Outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers aren't included in the standard report. Add the history check, with Experian data, to make this a complete pre-purchase check.
£10,000 covers most used cars, since it only needs to match what the car is worth. Step up only if the car is worth more.

Questions to Ask Seller
- Has the coolant recall work been completed? Can I see the paperwork?
- Is the service history main dealer or independent, and can I see the stamps?
- When was the wet timing belt last replaced?
- Is any warranty included with the sale?
- Has the car had any paint or panel work?
Price Analysis
Listed at £8,995. Comparable 2018 Titanium EcoBoost examples with around 40,000 miles are selling at dealers for £9,000 to £9,700. This is priced fairly, slightly under the going rate. There is not much room to push, but it is worth a small offer.
Things to Know
Not red flags - useful context about this type of vehicle:

- Coolant hoses and the degas bottle are the known weak point on this engine: a quick check confirms condition
- Insurance is low (group 9 to 11), which keeps running costs down for younger drivers
