Verdict

Buy with care

SUV cinq places à quatre roues motrices, proposé avec des moteurs essence de 124 à 197 ch. Aucun retour publié sur la génération 2001-2007 : les défauts recensés par Get Car Wise (corrosion des fixations de berceaux, roulements) visent la première génération, et le site indique que la seconde compte le moins de défauts dangereux. Les retours publiés manquent : prudence.

Market prices

Price unknown: not enough online listings for a reliable estimate. Compare several listings before negotiating.

Importing this model

Prices abroad

Yearly medians of each country's listings (AutoScout24, in euros; United Kingdom: cinch dealer, in pounds), over years with at least 3 listings. Useful to judge an import (add transport, inspection and registration).

CountryRangeMedianGap vs FranceListings
Germany€2,690 – €4,994 (2002 to 2007)€3,350—24

Median gap shown only when the country's estimate covers the same years as the French one. Add transport, roadworthiness test and registration.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • Production ended in 2007: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Ford Maverick”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Inspecter le dessous de caisse et les fixations des berceaux (corrosion décrite sur la première génération).
  • Contrôler les roulements de roue : bruit de roulement, jeu.
  • Vérifier l'état des flexibles de frein.
  • Tester la transmission intégrale et la boîte automatique du V6 (passages sans à-coups).
  • Exiger le carnet d'entretien et les factures.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quel est l'historique d'entretien, avec factures ?
  • Les roulements de roue et les flexibles de frein ont-ils été remplacés ?
  • La voiture a-t-elle servi en usage tout-terrain ou à tracter ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
