This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 26,305 miles. The single major brake failure in 2022, though rectified, suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 6,861 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low of 4,598 miles in the last year.
Things to check
- Major brake failure on 2022-03-02 (both rear pads worn to indicator) after 4 years of ownership.
- Recurring tyre advisories in Jan 2024 and Jan 2026 suggest ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Under tray covers fitted advisory repeated in 2022, 2023, and 2026, indicating a persistent issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-25, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,861 mi/yr) with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- Single major failure in 2022 was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
