This 2013 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 4,142 miles. The vehicle's age and potential head gasket issues from the community knowledge require thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,968 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2019-06-13, immediately rectified but indicates past neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2018, 2019, 2020) and a major suspension failure (2019) suggest ongoing wear.
- Major engine/oil failure on 2019-06-13, though rectified, points to potential underlying issues.
- Community-reported head gasket and timing chain issues for 2013+ EcoBoost engines are a significant long-term risk.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-06-12, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,968 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- All MOT failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership.
