AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 27,654 miles. The car's 2014–present turbo and head gasket history for 2.0L EcoBoost engines is a significant concern for this 1.5L diesel.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,481 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.
Things to check
- Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin advisory on 2019-06-25 (Jul 2025 retest) — a recurring issue.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 3 separate tests (Jul 2021, Jul 2022, Jul 2023) — consistent wear pattern.
- Two MOT failures (Jul 2020, Jul 2022) with no defect details provided by DVSA — requires immediate investigation.
- Community-reported head gasket and timing chain failures for 2.0L EcoBoost engines — potential future major repair costs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,481 miles/year — no fraud indicators.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in the MOT history.
- Immediate retest passes after failures (Jul 2020, Jul 2022) — owner addressed issues promptly.
