This 2017 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 26,025 miles. However, a dangerous brake failure in March 2025, combined with recurring tyre and brake advisories, indicates a pattern of wear and maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 26,025 miles over 9 years, averaging 6,889 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure on 2025-03-28 (test 3) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2020, May 2023, Mar 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake disc/pad advisories (Jun 2020, Mar 2025) indicate a history of wear.
- Multiple light failures (Jun 2021, May 2023) and a minor defect (Jun 2020) point to electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-28, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,889 mi/yr), suggesting light use.
- No major structural failures or recurring major defects in the MOT history.
