This 2012 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 5,699 miles. The high annual usage and recurring advisories on critical wear items like tyres and brakes warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high annual usage of 28,525 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with a notable spike in 2022 to 15,216 miles.
Things to check
- High annual mileage of 28,525 miles/year (Oct 2022) indicates heavy wear and tear.
- Oct 2023 MOT advisory for offside rear tyre wear close to legal limit indicates imminent replacement.
- Oct 2023 MOT advisory for offside front lower suspension arm ball joint excessively worn is a major concern.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a clean recent MOT pass from October 2023, indicating current roadworthiness.
