AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 28,031 miles. While the MOT itself is valid, the underlying mechanical integrity of the 1.2L engine is a major red flag.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,421 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Turbo failure and head gasket issues are severe, unaddressed risks for a 2014 Ford 1.2L engine.
- Coolant migration to cylinders is a known 2.0L EcoBoost engine failure, not present in MOT history.
- Engine overheating is a recurring issue for this model, indicating a systemic problem.
- The 1.2L engine's history of major failures is a significant, unquantifiable risk.
Working in its favour
- MOT is valid until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,421 mi/yr) suggests light use.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories for the 1.2L engine itself.
