Ford 1.5 TDCi - Yay or Nay?

[PH.sausages]

Looking at buying a 2017 Ford Focus 1.5 TDCi

Will be a long term car for me, 6-8 years hopefully.

Is this engine generally reliable if serviced properly?

Would like to think it could do 150k miles fairly easily.

Any thoughts appreciated

They're a good engine personally I'd always take the 2.0d it's only a smidge worse on fuel & overall better suited to the Focus but reliability wise there's no reason not to buy one.

I had a 2016 as a courtesy car for a few weeks. It was outrageously good on fuel and fine on the mway. Was a nice everyday steer.

Another thumbs up. Decent diesel engines.

Many thanks for the replies.

Some had recalls for the cam sprocket so when getting the belt done it might be worth changing this too.
