This 2016 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 40,663 miles. The recurring tyre issues and a recent subframe advisory suggest potential underlying wear or neglect.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,009 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures (Dec 2019, Jan 2024) and advisories (Oct 2025) indicate a persistent wear pattern.
- Offside Rear Position lamp missing (Jan 2024) and Nearside Headlamp insecure (Dec 2022) show past electrical neglect.
- A 2023 service gap is noted, suggesting a period of unverified maintenance or off-road use.
- The Oct 2025 MOT includes an advisory for the subframe, a critical safety component, which needs immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,009 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring system issues beyond tyres and lights.
- Engine capacity of 1242cc is a known point of strength for Ford, generally reliable.
