This 2018 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 162,234 miles. The vehicle's mileage integrity is severely compromised, making it an untrustworthy purchase.
A critical 146,000-mile discrepancy occurred on 22 Feb 2021, where the first test recorded 162,234 miles, but the retest immediately afterwards showed only 16,234 miles, indicating a severe data anomaly.
Things to check
- Mileage integrity breach: 146,000-mile discrepancy on 22 Feb 2021 — fundamental untrustworthiness.
- Recurring tyre failures: Multiple tyre defects across 4 tests (Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2024, Feb 2025) — persistent safety concern.
- Engine/Oil failure: Major engine/oil failure on 22 Feb 2021 (162,234 mi) — significant mechanical risk.
- Windscreen washer failure: Major windscreen washer failure on 22 Feb 2021 (162,234 mi) — basic safety system fault.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-04 — current roadworthiness certificate.
- No recurring failures on the same system after initial resolution — owner addressed issues.
- Consistent annual mileage post-2021 (5,710 miles/yr) — no recent large gaps.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided DVLA data.
