This 2016 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 13,441 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 9,608 miles/year, but a significant spike in mileage (18,333 miles in 12 months) occurred between Feb 2022 and Feb 2023, indicating a change in driving habits.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 7 tests (Feb 2022, Mar 2024, Apr 2025) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension arm and steering rack advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Apr 2025) suggest ongoing structural wear.
- Brake pad wear advisory recurring in 3 separate tests (Feb 2022, Feb 2023, Mar 2026) points to a long-term issue.
- A DANGEROUS tyre defect was recorded on 2024-03-01, indicating a severe safety hazard at that time.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-04-01, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,608 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
