This 2012 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 22,328 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with recurring issues, suggests potential underlying problems or a need for immediate investment.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 2,843 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 149 miles recorded before July 2018 and a significant drop in recent years, indicating potential odometer fraud or unreported usage.
Things to check

- Engine overheating and head gasket issues reported in community knowledge for this model.

Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
