Looking to buy 2012-2014 Escape, Anything to look out for?

Looking to by a 2012-2014 Escape. Any common bug/issues to look out for? What the best motor for longevity? The car will just be for commuting. Thanks.

2012 was the last year before the redesign.

2013 was the first year for the redesign. 2013 and up have the 1.6 and 2.0 Ecoboost engines. I have a 2013 2.0 AWD Ecoboost and haven't had any problems with 43k on it now. Make around 24 mpg highway most of the time.

I am not aware of any specific problem years to watch out for... but I haven't really dug too deep. I just loved the way ours drove and bought it!
