This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 23,982 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated failures suggest a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,792 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Jan 2020, Jan 2025) and advisories (Jan 2024) indicate a persistent wear pattern.
- Offside Rear Coil spring fractured (Jan 2021) and suspension advisories (Jan 2024) point to recurring suspension issues.
- Engine oil and CV boot advisories in 3 separate tests (Jan 2020, Jan 2021, Jan 2024) suggest a history of neglect.
- Front Sub-frame corrosion advisory (Jan 2024) and seatbelt damage (Jan 2025) highlight potential future structural concerns.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent annual mileage of 7,792 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
- All major failures were promptly rectified, demonstrating responsible ownership and maintenance.
