This 2018 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 44,771 miles. The mileage discrepancy is a major red flag for potential fraud.
The MOT history shows a critical 3-year gap in recorded mileage from May 2023 (82,637 mi) to June 2024 (83,422 mi), with suspiciously low annual usage before this period.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 3-year gap (May 2023–June 2024) with suspiciously low annual usage before.
- MOT failure: June 2024 failure for excessively worn front anti-roll bar ball joints.
- Mileage integrity: Suspiciously low mileage recorded before June 2024 (705 mi/yr equivalent).
- Mileage anomaly: Significant drop in annual usage from 22,337 miles (May 2023) to 785 miles (June 2024).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT: Currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2026-07-14.
- No recurring failures: The single MOT failure in June 2024 was for anti-roll bar ball joints, not a recurring system issue.
- Consistent mileage: After the initial 3-year gap, the mileage trajectory shows consistent increases without anomalies.
- No dangerous defects: The MOT history does not indicate any DANGEROUS-rated defects or immediate safety hazards.
