AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 30,365 miles. The vehicle's history of reported engine issues with 1.5L EcoBoost engines is also a significant red flag.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,334 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent retest in July 2024 after a tyre failure.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect (bulge) on 2024-07-19 MOT failure, indicating a serious safety compromise.
- Community-reported 1.5L EcoBoost engine coolant leaks and cylinder wall degradation (2018–2018) aligns with Ford's 1.5L EcoBoost engine history.
- Turbo failure and coolant leak reported for 1.5L EcoBoost engines (2014–present) are highly relevant for this 2018 Ford.
- The 2024-07-19 MOT failure for a dangerous tyre bulge, though rectified, suggests a period of compromised safety.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,334 miles/year, well below UK average, indicating light use.
- No recurring failures or advisories on the same system across multiple MOT tests.
- The single 2024-07-19 MOT failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-26, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
