This 2016 Ford has 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 17,934 miles. Recurring brake advisories and a recent MOT expiry require careful investigation.
The vehicle shows 17,934 miles at its first MOT in Feb 2019, then only 6,407 miles in the subsequent 3 years, indicating a significant and unexplained drop in usage.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below average: 39,973 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016) — a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring brake pad advisories across 4 tests (Feb 2019, 2020, 2021) — consistent wear pattern suggests a systemic issue.
- Engine oil advisory noted in Feb 2022 — a minor but unaddressed maintenance item.
- MOT expired 2023-02-26; current status 'Not valid' — immediate re-MOT required before driving.
Working in its favour
- Consistent pass record: 4 of 5 MOT tests passed, with only one minor failure.
- No major structural failures: No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
- Low annual mileage: Average of 6,539 miles/year suggests light use and potential for long component life.
- No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects recorded in the MOT history.
