How many miles does your 1.6l have?

Hello,

I have owned a 2007 Escape XLT for several years and just under 300,000 miles. This weekend the engine started knocking.

I am looking at a 2015 SE 1.6l WTH 117,000 miles that appears to be in good shape. I am curious if these newer models are capable of getting some decent longevity assuming all the maintenance is followed.

How many miles does everyone have on theirs?

I had a 13 with the 1.6. Lasted 154,000 before I started having some transmission issues and coolant leaks. All my coolant leaks were external including the water pump. I never had an issue with head gasket problems but the 1.6 is infamous for those problems. I would get a 2.0 liter 13-16 if you’re able too, they are more long term reliable from my understanding.
