This 2011 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 13,876 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent need for repairs suggests potential ongoing maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,829 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Aug 2024, Jun 2025).
  • Persistent emissions failures and advisories (e.g., Aug 2021, Jul 2023, Jun 2025).
  • Multiple tyre and shock advisories throughout its history (e.g., Sep 2015, Aug 2024, Jun 2025).
  • Consistent need for retests after initial failures, indicating ongoing repair needs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,829 mi/yr) suggests light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
