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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 31,196 miles. The recent failure for a tyre advisory and a history of engine-related faults from community knowledge warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,672 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2022) escalated to major failures (Feb 2023, Feb 2025).
- Persistent tyre advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2026) and a major failure (Feb 2023).
- Recent failure for a tyre advisory (Feb 2026) immediately followed by a pass, suggesting borderline condition.
- Community-reported high-risk engine issues (turbo, head gasket, timing chain) for a 2016 Ford, despite no MOT evidence.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,672 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
