This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,165 miles.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal annual usage (11,070 miles/year) with no anomalies, but a significant spike in 2023-2024 (20,466 miles in 12 months) and again in 2024-2025 (19,319 miles in 12 months).

Things to check

  • Major failures for windscreen washer (Aug 2019) and stop lamps (Aug 2019) indicate past neglect.
  • Major failure for offside front wiper (Aug 2023) suggests a pattern of electrical and safety system issues.
  • Recent advisory for Nearside Rear Suspension arm (Aug 2025) is a new concern for a 10-year-old vehicle.
  • Consistent high mileage (over 100k miles) for a 2016 diesel engine raises wear concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,070 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No recurring major failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension since the initial failures.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
