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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 22,768 miles. The vehicle's age and potential head gasket issues from community knowledge warrant careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,185 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, track rod, anti-roll bar) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
- Recurring steering failures (rack gaiter, track rod) suggest a history of alignment or component issues.
- Four test failures in 12 MOTs, with many retests, indicates a reactive maintenance approach.
- Community-reported head gasket issues for 2.0L EcoBoost engines are a significant long-term risk.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (7,185 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Recent MOT pass (June 2025) after a failure, showing the owner addressed the issue.
