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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 12,980 miles. The vehicle's history of potential head gasket issues in the 2.0L Ecoboost engine variant further compounds the risk.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,696 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Coil spring fractured (May 2025), Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (May 2026) — indicates ongoing structural wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (May 2025), Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (May 2025) — suggests a pattern of component wear.
- Potential head gasket issues: Community knowledge reports a high risk of head gasket failure in 2.0L Ecoboost engines, a critical concern for this model.
- Low annual mileage: 4,696 miles/yr is significantly below average, potentially leading to a lack of maintenance and component fatigue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-30: Offers peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness and avoids immediate retesting costs.
- Consistent low mileage: 4,696 miles/yr indicates light use, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
- No recent major failures: The most recent MOT pass (May 2026) after a failure indicates the owner addressed the issue promptly.
- No mileage anomalies: The mileage trajectory is consistent with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
