This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 21,161 miles. The car's age and potential for unaddressed engine issues are significant concerns.

Things to check
- Major failure for Nearside Front Outer Drive shaft joint CV boot on 2025-10-24, a critical safety component.
- Service gap in 2020 with no MOT recorded, suggesting potential periods of disuse or neglect.
- Ford 2.0L Ecoboost engines have a history of head gasket and overheating issues, posing a significant long-term risk.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,318 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- Valid MOT until 2026-11-03, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
