This 2020 Ford has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 4,967 miles. The vehicle's history of low usage and a recent MOT failure for headlamp aim also raise concerns.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 1,731 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of only 10,653 miles recorded over 6 years, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 10,653 miles over 6 years (Feb 2026) — indicates very low usage or potential odometer issues.
- Recurring shock absorber advisories: Nearside Rear Shock absorbers advisory noted (Feb 2024) and again (Feb 2025) — indicates a persistent wear item.
- MOT failure for headlamp aim: Failed 2023-02-27 for both nearside front headlamps aiming too low — suggests a past neglect or accident repair.
- Very low annual mileage: 1,731 miles/year (Feb 2026) — may indicate limited use or unreported mileage, raising fraud concerns.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-28: Provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major recurring failures: Single failure for headlamp aim was immediately rectified on 2023-02-27.
- Consistent low mileage: Very low annual mileage (1,731 miles/year) suggests light use and minimal wear.
- No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects recorded in the MOT history.
