This 2012 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 17,334 miles. The timing chain and head gasket issues reported by the community are not applicable to this vehicle. The car shows consistent, low annual usage and has had its MOTs mostly passed, but there are recurring corrosion advisories and a past dangerous brake failure.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,920 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.
Things to check
- Dangerous brake failure recorded on 2023-09-23 (test 52,268 mi) — critical safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until April 2027, offering significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,920 mi/yr) suggests light use and minimal wear.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) since the initial dangerous failure.
