This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 10,223 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and SORN status further complicate its provenance and roadworthiness.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,792 miles per year, with a significant 2020 service gap and a recent period of very low mileage (59,585 mi in Jul 2024, then 61,870 mi in Nov 2025).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2024-07-25 (test 7), indicating a severe safety hazard.
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2023) escalated to a DANGEROUS failure in 2024.
  • Recurring engine oil advisories (Jun 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2023) suggest a chronic underlying issue.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2022, Nov 2025) indicate a pattern of wear and potential neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing owners addressed issues promptly.
