This 2013 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 90% pass rate and 24,432 miles. The car's low annual usage and a 2013 Ford 1.0L EcoBoost engine variant present significant risks.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,466 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (930 miles in 2025-2026).
Things to check
- 2020–2023 MOT gap: No MOT recorded for 3 years (2020, 2022, 2023), indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
- Ford 1.0L EcoBoost engine: This variant is known for head gasket and overheating issues, posing a high risk of costly repairs.
- Brake pad wear: Front brake pads were noted as 'wearing thin' in March 2017, indicating a need for attention.
Working in its favour
- Strong recent MOT pass: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, valid until March 2027.
- No dangerous defects: The MOT history shows no dangerous defects or failures, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- Low mileage for age: The car has covered only 24,432 miles in 13 years, suggesting light use and potentially lower wear.
- Immediate retest after failure: The single failure in June 2019 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
