This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 35,470 miles. The car's age and potential for unaddressed maintenance issues require thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,736 miles/year, with a notable 5-year service gap from 2018-2023 and a recent spike in annual usage from 2022 onwards.
Things to check
- Major suspension failure (Offside Front Coil spring fractured) on 2018-02-21, though immediately rectified.
- Recurring advisories for worn tyres (2016-02-11) and worn brake pads (2024-10-28) indicate ongoing wear.
- A 5-year MOT gap (2018-2023) suggests the vehicle may have been off-road or not regularly serviced.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,736 miles/year, well below UK average.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Immediate retest and pass after the 2018-02-21 suspension failure.
