This 2013 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 15,211 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and numerous past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 13,229 miles per year, with a notable spike in 2022-2023 to over 17,000 miles annually, indicating heavy use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2026-04-25 MOT test, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across 8 tests (Apr 2023, Oct 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025, Apr 2026).
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across 4 tests (Apr 2023, Oct 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025).
  • High annual mileage (13,229 mi/yr) for a 2013 vehicle, suggesting heavy commercial or high-mileage use.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-26, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
