AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 11,467 miles. The vehicle's history of tyre advisories and a head gasket issue in the Ford EcoBoost engine variant require thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows 46,546 miles over 13 years, which is significantly below average usage (3,634 miles/year), raising a mileage anomaly flag.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 46,546 miles over 13 years (Jan 2013).
- Major suspension failure: Nearside Front Coil spring fractured (Oct 2025).
- Recurring tyre advisories: Four separate tyre wear advisories across 2019 and 2023 tests.
- Critical head gasket risk: Ford EcoBoost 2.0L engines (2013+) have a history of coolant migration.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures on critical safety systems (brakes, steering, emissions).
- Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests light use.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
