This 2014 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 36,651 miles. However, a significant recurring pattern of major failures, particularly with lights and windscreen, combined with a history of engine issues, warrants careful consideration.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,773 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, though there was a 3-year period (2021-2022) of lower usage.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in lights (4 times) and windscreen (2 times) across multiple tests.
- Major suspension failure in March 2025, with a preceding advisory for corrosion.
- Consistent pattern of major failures in critical safety systems (lights, windscreen).
- History of engine issues (turbo, head gasket, overheating) reported by community.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 11,773 miles/year.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
