This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 37,771 miles. However, a pattern of recurring lighting issues and a significant drop in annual mileage in recent years warrant careful investigation.
The vehicle shows normal usage until 2024, but a suspiciously low 5-mile annual usage was recorded between August 2024 and October 2025, which is highly unusual for a 10-year-old car.
Things to check
- Recurring lighting failures (Sep 2020, Sep 2021, Sep 2022, Oct 2025) indicate a persistent electrical issue.
- Suspiciously low mileage (5 miles/year) recorded between Aug 2024 and Oct 2025 suggests a period of inactivity or very short journeys.
- One major brake failure (Sep 2022) is a significant safety concern, though it was immediately rectified.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until October 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage (10,532 miles/year) before 2024 suggests normal, regular use.
- No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., engine, transmission) are present in the MOT history.
