This 2013 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 27,669 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring tyre and brake advisories, combined with a history of dangerous defects, raises concerns about long-term maintenance and safety.
The vehicle shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,548 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal mileage for its age.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2018, 2023, 2024, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad advisories across 4 tests (2018, 2023, 2024, 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- Dangerous tyre defect (cut) noted in Sep 2023 MOT, highlighting past safety concerns.
- Major emissions failure in Sep 2024, with related advisories in 2023 and 2025, points to potential engine issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until September 2026, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent annual mileage of 8,548 miles/year, aligning with UK average, suggests normal usage.
- No major structural corrosion or suspension failures recorded in the MOT history.
