This 2013 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 27,256 miles. The recent low mileage and valid MOT are positive, but the underlying issues demand careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory shows consistent, low annual usage (6,103 miles/yr), with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (1,216 miles in 2024-2025).
Things to check
- Community-reported head gasket issues (blown head gasket, coolant migration) are a significant long-term risk for this 1.2L engine.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,103 miles/yr) suggests light use and potentially lower wear.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the last 2 years of testing.
- The 1.2L engine is generally known for its simplicity and lower running costs.
