This 2013 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 14,638 miles. However, a pattern of dangerous tyre and suspension failures, combined with a 2023 service gap, warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage averaging 6,396 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2023 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Dangerous Nearside Rear Tyre failure on 2017-04-25, indicating poor maintenance.
- Dangerous Nearside Rear Suspension arm bush failure on 2017-04-25, a critical safety component.
- Offside Rear Tyre worn close to limit advisory on 2017-04-25, a recurring wear issue.
- 2023 MOT gap suggests a period of inactivity or unrecorded history.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-21, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (6,396 mi/yr) suggests light, careful use.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, steering) beyond the 2017 tyre/suspension issues.
- Recent clean MOT pass on 2026-02-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
