This 2016 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 29,857 miles. While there are recurring advisories for tyres and brakes, these are typical wear items for a 10-year-old vehicle.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,613 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 10-year history.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories for tyres (6 flags) and brakes (5 flags) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
- Major failure for Offside Rear Coil Spring fractured (Feb 2023) and a Major failure for Offside Rear Stop lamp (Feb 2020) show past maintenance needs.
- The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) carries an advisory for worn front brake discs, a recurring issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,613 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain stress.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until March 2027, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
