This 2018 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 7,296 miles. The 1.5L EcoBoost engine variant carries known high-risk coolant and head gasket issues that require immediate verification.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,248 miles/year, with a 2-year gap (2023-2024) showing only 234 miles, indicating potential odometer tampering or very limited use.
Things to check
- Extremely low lifetime mileage: 1,248 mi/yr average over 7 years (Jun 2021: 7,296 mi).
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 9,278 mi total for a 2018 vehicle.
- Mileage anomaly: 2-year gap (May 2023–Jun 2024) shows only 234 miles, suggesting potential fraud.
- First MOT in Jun 2021 at 7,296 mi is unusually late for a 2018 registration.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures or dangerous defects found in the MOT history.
- Single minor failure (washer) in May 2023 was immediately rectified.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since first MOT in 2021.
