This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 9,724 miles. The vehicle's extremely low annual usage (2,159 miles/year) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
The vehicle shows only 9,724 miles in 8 years, significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 1,090-mile increase between Feb 2021 and Feb 2022.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 9,724 miles over 8 years (Feb 2021: 9,724 mi).
- Critical tyre advisory escalation: ADVISORY on 2023-02-16 for Nearside Front Outer Tyre, escalating to MAJOR failure on 2025-02-14 for Nearside Front Outer Tyre.
- Mileage anomaly: Only 1,090 miles recorded between Feb 2021 and Feb 2022 (9,724 mi total).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects in MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (if genuine), suggesting regular use despite low total.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for peace of mind).
