Why?  Is there another fault that's damaged it? 

If it's a manufacturing defect, it should be covered under warranty.

The engine warning light appeared i took it to a ford dealership and they said the cat will soon need to be replaced.

It's always hard to guess the problem when your profile details are not for the car with the issue.

Ah, in that case it's not uncommon for the cat to clog up on the 1.0EB.

Low mileage means it's probably spent a lot of time in traffic rather than being driven on the motorway.
