I've owned multiple turbo fours of varying displacement.

Maintenance nowadays on a turbo engine is exactly the same unless the turbo goes. There's also stupid stuff that can happen like boost leaks but that's usually just a clamp that needs to be tightened.

The only other major issue with some of these engines is carbon buildup on the valves in the cylinder head. This is only an issue on direct injection engines. Engines that have port injection or dual fuelling don't run into the issue. The solution to make sure you don't get carbon buildup is simple. You just make sure you redline it every once in a while.

The ford 1.5T is a solid engine. I've seen escapes with that motor go 100,000 miles on the original turbo without any major issues. I think the wastegates (or BPV? it was an issue with one or the other) used to go bad but that's really not a huge deal unless it happens at a really bad time. I'm pretty sure they fixed it at some point too.
