This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 37,035 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and recurring safety-critical issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,911 miles per year, with a significant spike of 23,615 miles between Sep 2023 and Sep 2024.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2025): Nearside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-09-25 (134,694 mi) — immediate safety concern.
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2024-09-24 (107,688 mi) — repeated safety-critical issue.
- Persistent tyre advisory across 7 tests (Sep 2021–Sep 2025) — indicates chronic wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-09-29 — no immediate retesting required.
- Consistent mileage trajectory — no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- No recurring major failures on structural systems (suspension, steering) — only brakes and tyres.
