This 2016 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 5,671 miles. The MOT history itself is clean, but the underlying engine reliability is a major concern.
The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,622 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in usage from 2023 onwards.
Things to check
- Turbo failure and head gasket issues are community-reported for the 2.0L EcoBoost engine variant, a major unverified risk.
- Offside Front Position lamp not working (Aug 2020) — a minor electrical fault, but the underlying engine issues are a major concern.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT pass record with no recent failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,622 miles/year, suggesting light use and less wear.
- No recurring failures or advisories on the same system across multiple MOT tests.
- Recent MOT pass in April 2025, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
