AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 34,313 miles. While it carries a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating and a known head gasket issue, the recent MOTs show good maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 7,248 miles/year with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a recent period of very low annual usage (861 miles in 2024-2025).
Things to check
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) indicates a lower safety standard compared to modern vehicles.
- Community-reported 'head gasket' and 'timing chain' issues for 2.0L EcoBoost engines are significant potential future repair costs for this model.
- The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2013 Ford is below average, suggesting a higher risk of hidden safety defects.
Working in its favour
- 11 of 12 MOT tests passed with no failures recorded, demonstrating a well-maintained vehicle.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,248 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- Recent MOT pass (May 2026) with a long expiry date (2027-05-21) provides peace of mind for the next two years.
- No dangerous defects or recurring major failures found in the MOT history, indicating good structural integrity.
