The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,213 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- 2017-07-05: Failed MOT for exposed ply/cords on offside rear tyre.
- 2025-07-05: Latest MOT includes an advisory for a suspension arm, indicating ongoing wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (2025, 2024) suggest a pattern of wear.
- Past community-reported faults for overheating, head gasket, and timing chain are significant for a 2012 Ford.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,213 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No major recurring failures or dangerous defects on the MOT record.
