This 2016 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,197 miles. However, a pattern of recurring tyre and brake issues, including a DANGEROUS brake failure in October 2025, raises significant concerns about ongoing maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,289 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- Oct 2025: DANGEROUS brake failure (pads less than 1.5mm) indicates critical wear.
- Oct 2025: DANGEROUS tyre failure (cut to ply) shows recurring neglect of critical safety components.
- Oct 2025: Recurring tyre advisories (cuts, nails) across multiple tests (2019, 2025) point to systemic issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies, indicating genuine usage.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
- All MOT failures were promptly rectified, showing owner responsiveness.
