This 2017 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 17,004 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated tyre advisories suggest a potential underlying issue.

Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories from Mar 2022 to Mar 2025, escalating to major failures by Mar 2026.
- Major brake failure on 2024-03-25, followed by a retest pass the same day.
- Major suspension failure on 2025-03-25, followed by a retest pass the same day.
- Consistent pattern of wear on critical safety components (tyres, brakes, suspension) over multiple years.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,403 miles/year, suggesting genuine use.
- All major failures (brakes, suspension, lights) were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
