This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 19,598 miles.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,049 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 9 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024, Jan 2025, Jan 2026) suggest chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension advisories across 2 tests (Mar 2022, Mar 2023) indicate ongoing component wear.
  • Major failure for 'Tyre tread depth below requirements' on 2017-03-27, followed by immediate retest, highlights past neglect.
  • The vehicle has a history of major engine issues (head gasket, overheating, coolant migration) for the 2.0L Ecoboost engine, a known weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (4,049 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT tests.
  • The vehicle has a long history of MOT tests, indicating regular inspections and maintenance attempts.
