This 2013 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 42,259 miles. The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage, raising further questions about the vehicle's maintenance and true condition.

Things to check

  • Multiple recurring suspension failures (2018, 2023) and advisories (2020, 2024) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring steering rack gaiter failures (2018, 2023) and advisories (2020, 2024) point to systemic structural issues.
  • The 2013 Ford 1.2L engine is prone to overheating and head gasket issues, as reported by the community.
  • The mileage dropped significantly from 80,496 miles in Dec 2018 to 80,884 miles in Dec 2019, suggesting a change in usage.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until August 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed its MOT tests since the initial failures were addressed.
