I am looking at a Ford Fiesta Zetec S Ecoboost (red or black edition).

Does anyone know if it's possible to see rev range checks on these cars? Does the ECU record them & what should I be looking for on the dealer computer?

Have come from sports car background like Porsche where you can see whether previous owners have banged it into the rev limiter or even exceeded it if they missed a downshift at high revs. Not something we have checked on the family cars but wondered on this as buying second hand

Hi,

We bought an ex mobility ford cmax diesel I never read the ecu codes before purchase. But when I plugged it in to check the dpf soot levels it showed an engine over rev code. So I expect if it has been overrevved by some scumbag that it will throw a code.
