This 2016 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 26,478 miles. The most critical issue is a severe mileage anomaly, with only 26,478 miles recorded over 10 years, which is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 26,478 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016 to Sep 2025), which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year and raises serious concerns about odometer integrity.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 26,478 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016 to Sep 2025).
- Dangerous tyre defect (Aug 2019) and fractured coil spring
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the last MOT pass in Sep 2025.
- Consistent retest pattern shows issues were addressed and resolved promptly.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
