This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 48,249 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a 2025 service gap, raises significant concerns about its maintenance history.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage from 2019 to 2025, averaging only 117 miles per year, followed by a significant drop to 573 miles per year from 2024 to 2026, indicating a major discrepancy in its usage history.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Suspiciously low annual mileage (117 mi/yr) from 2019 to 2025, then 573 mi/yr from 2024 to 2026.
- Brake failure: Offside front brake pads failed at 61,405 miles (Jan 2021), indicating poor maintenance.
- Service gap: No MOT recorded in 2025, suggesting a period of off-road use or unverified maintenance.
- Turbo and head gasket: Community-reported high-risk issues for 2.0L EcoBoost engines, though no MOT evidence.
Working in its favour
- Solid MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects or recurring major failures.
- Recent clean pass: Passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-10, valid until 2027-02-10.
- No recurring advisories: All advisories were isolated and immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
- Consistent mileage: Once past the initial low period, the car has maintained consistent annual mileage.
