MK3 Focus. What to look out for?

[MC Bodge]

I will be inheriting a well-lookd after 2014 MK3 Focus 1.0 125 Ecoboost in the fairly near future.

It has the metal coolant pipes.

I know about dropping the sump to check for wet belt debris in the oil pickup strainer and may well have the belt changed.

Is there anything else in particular to look out for?

Are there any suggestions for simple changes/improvements to the car?

I have Forscan so will be taking a look with that when I get the car.

Thanks.

The weather strips falling off at the bottom of the doors.

I've had my Focus ST for 4 years now, other than the door seals coming away (simple DIY fix) it's not had any issues. I know there can be an issue with water getting into the boot, usually through the vents behind the rear bumper, but there's plenty of guides online on how to seal them up if needed.

A big one is the pipes to the heater matrix splitting and flooding the drivers footwell. 10p plastic part to fix it, but a couple of hours labour
