This 2014 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 33,211 miles. The vehicle's history of engine issues, as reported by the community, further raises reliability concerns.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,281 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal usage over its 12-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Major Nearside Rear Suspension arm failure on 2020-02-18, indicating a significant structural wear item.
  • Persistent Tyre advisories across 6 tests from 2017 to 2026, indicating a chronic wear pattern.
  • Multiple brake and emissions advisories in 2020 and 2024, suggesting a history of wear items needing attention.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-07, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 10,281 miles/year, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the latest MOT tests.
  • Immediate retest and pass after the 2020 failure, demonstrating prompt owner action.
