This 2017 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 8,100 miles. Very low annual usage (1,694 miles/year) is also a significant red flag for potential underlying issues.
The vehicle shows only 14,197 miles over 9 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a notable 1,067-mile increase between May 2023 and May 2024.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 14,197 miles over 9 years (Jan 2017 to May 2025).
- Mileage anomaly: 1,067-mile increase between May 2023 (11,582 mi) and May 2024 (13,138 mi).
- Very low annual usage: 1,694 miles/year suggests minimal use or potential odometer issues.
- Potential head gasket failure: 1.2L engines are prone to head gasket issues; factor in £500–£1000 for repair.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded: 6 consecutive passes with no failures, indicating a well-maintained vehicle.
- Valid MOT until June 2026: Offers peace of mind with a long, valid MOT certificate.
- Low engine capacity: 1.2L engine is generally more fuel-efficient and has lower running costs.
- No dangerous defects: All MOT tests show no dangerous defects or recurring structural issues.
