This 2013 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 41,305 miles. The car's history shows a consistent need for maintenance.

Things to check
- Brake system failures in Sep 2020 and Jul 2025, with advisories in 2016 and 2017, indicate recurring issues.
- Suspension arm advisories in Apr 2017 and Apr 2018, and a tyre advisory in Jul 2025, show a history of wear.
- A significant mileage increase of 25,148 miles in 12 months (Jul 2024 to Jul 2025) suggests a change in driving style or heavy use.
- The 2013 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage of 9,112 miles/yr is well below UK average, suggesting light use.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- All previous failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
