This 2012 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 28,499 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with a significant drop in usage before 2017.

The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with a significant drop in usage before 2017 (107 mi/yr equivalent) and a suspiciously large 806-mile difference on 01 Oct 2018 and 02 Oct 2018 retests.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2025): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 01 Feb 2025, immediately preceding a PASS.
  • Recurring major suspension failures (coil springs) on 01 Feb 2024 and 01 Jan 2025.
  • Unusually low mileage before Jan 2017 (107 mi/yr equivalent) suggests long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-01, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,642 miles since 2018, aligning with UK average.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 01 Feb 2025 retest.
