AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 13,818 miles. The MOT history itself is clean, but the underlying engine risk makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 52,394 miles over 13 years, averaging only 4,171 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 52,394 miles over 13 years (4,171 mi/yr).
- Critical 1.6L EcoBoost engine known for head gasket issues and overheating.
- No service history provided; critical for a 2013 Ford with low mileage.
- One major suspension failure (coil spring) in 2018, though immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until 2026-07-20, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in recent MOTs.
- Immediate retest and pass after 2018 coil spring failure, showing owner care.
- Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for longevity.
