This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 35,699 miles. The car's age and potential for hidden wear-and-tear issues require a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,239 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2024 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Feb 2026 MOT failure for anti-roll bar bush — indicates current wear and tear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2019, Jun 2023) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Recurring light advisories (Jun 2021, Jun 2022, Jun 2023) indicate a pattern of wear.
- Head gasket issues reported in community knowledge for 2013+ Ford engines.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next 3 years.
- Consistent, normal mileage averaging 8,239 miles/year, aligning with UK usage.
- No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- Recent MOT pass (Feb 2026) after addressing the anti-roll bar bush failure.
