This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 33,415 miles. The car's long history of owner-reported faults for the 2.0L EcoBoost engine is a major concern for any diesel Ford.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 10,098 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 33,415 miles recorded by March 2019.
Things to check
- March 2020 MOT failure for low brake fluid and brake warning system indicates past neglect.
- Recurring brake pad and tyre advisories from March 2019 and March 2020 suggest ongoing wear items.
- Multiple owner-reported faults for the 2.0L EcoBoost engine (turbo, head gasket, overheating) are a significant long-term risk.
- The April 2026 MOT advisory for a tyre indicates current wear items requiring attention.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (10,098 mi/yr) for a 10-year-old vehicle is a positive sign.
- The single March 2020 MOT failure was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- No DANGEROUS defects have ever been recorded on this vehicle.
- The MOT is valid until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
