This 2016 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 47,336 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor failures and advisories, particularly with tyres and brakes, indicates a need for thorough inspection.
Mileage is consistent at 10,793 miles/year, averaging slightly above the UK norm of 8,000 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2022, Feb 2024) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2024).
- Recurring brake system advisories (Mar 2021, Mar 2023) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring exhaust leak advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2021) indicate a persistent issue.
- Recurring headlamp aim advisories (Feb 2021, Feb 2024) suggest a recurring electrical fault.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (10,793 miles/year) aligns with typical UK usage.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
