This 2013 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 64,276 miles. The vehicle's past issues, including a blown head gasket, and current advisories make it a high-risk purchase.
A critical mileage anomaly is present: 64,276 miles in Feb 2016, but only 52,399 miles in Feb 2017, indicating possible odometer tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Feb 2016 (64,276 mi) and Feb 2017 (52,399 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased from 64,276 miles (Feb 2016) to 52,399 miles (Feb 2017) — possible odometer fraud.
- Recurring major failures in emissions (5 times) and lights (4 times) across multiple MOTs.
- Dangerous defect: Offside Front Road wheel badly distorted (Dec 2024) — a serious safety concern.
Working in its favour
- MOT currently valid until 29 December 2026, indicating a recent pass.
- No recurring failures in critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,450 miles/year, typical for a diesel.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided DVLA data.
