This 2017 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 52,270 miles. The recent October 2025 MOT passed with advisories for both tyres and brakes, indicating immediate maintenance needs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,740 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (2020, 2022, 2024) and advisories (2025) indicate ongoing wear and potential neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2021, 2022, 2025) suggest a history of poor maintenance or aggressive driving.
- Multiple major failures for windscreen wipers (2022) and lights (2024) highlight reactive maintenance.
- The 2025-10-20 MOT passed with advisories for both rear tyres and front/rear brake pads, indicating immediate costs.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing peace of mind for the next year.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
- No recurring failures for critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
