This 2013 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 39,331 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues and high usage warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,723 miles per year, with a significant spike in 2017 (13,912 miles in 12 months) and a notable drop in 2019 (253 miles in 12 months), indicating inconsistent driving patterns.
Things to check
- High mileage for age (39,331 mi over 13 years) suggests more wear and tear.
- Recurring suspension arm bush advisories (2017) and coil spring failure (2017) indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring lighting failures (2017) and headlamp issues (2017) suggest electrical or component reliability issues.
- Engine/Oil and overheating issues reported in community knowledge for 2.0L Ecoboost engines are a significant concern for this model.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsive ownership.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expiring in 2021, which is a positive sign for immediate roadworthiness.
