AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 33,715 miles. However, a critical 1.6L EcoBoost engine coolant migration risk and a 2017 head gasket failure are significant owner-reported faults that demand thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2019 (254 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a potential period of inactivity or incorrect recording.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Aug 2019 (254 mi/yr equivalent).
- Engine coolant migration: 2017 head gasket failure and 2013+ EcoBoost coolant issues are high-risk.
- Steering advisories: Offside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play (Jul 2023).
- Low annual mileage: 33,715 miles over 13 years suggests limited use.
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with only one minor failure.
- Consistent low mileage: Average 7,275 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No dangerous defects: All MOT failures were minor, not safety-critical.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until August 2026, providing peace of mind.
