This 2015 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 49,598 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of suspension issues and mileage discrepancies warrants a thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage before Feb 2020 (271 mi/yr equivalent), followed by unusually high jumps, and then extremely low usage before Feb 2026 (125 mi/yr equivalent).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Feb 2026 FAIL).
- Recurring suspension failures: Anti-roll bar bush excessively worn (Feb 2026 FAIL).
- Recurring suspension failures: Exhaust system corroded (Feb 2026 FAIL).
- Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2020 (271 mi/yr equivalent).
