This 2014 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 41,175 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage, raising serious concerns about its maintenance and potential underlying issues.

The vehicle shows normal usage until 2019 (68,844 mi), but then experienced a significant drop in annual mileage, averaging only 2,500 miles/year between 2022 and 2025, which is highly unusual for a 12-year-old vehicle.
