This 2016 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 19,650 miles. The car's low annual usage and a past failure require thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 19,650 miles by Dec 2019, then only 1,174 miles in the subsequent 5 years (Jan 2025), indicating a significant change in usage or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 19,650 mi (Dec 2019) then only 1,174 mi (Jan 2025), suggesting odometer fraud.
- One test failure (Jan 2026) with no defect details provided, suggesting unresolved issues or poor maintenance.
- The 1.2L EcoBoost engine has a history of overheating and coolant migration issues, a known weakness.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, showing basic safety compliance.
- Consistent low annual mileage suggests light use and potential for long component life.
- No recurring major failures, only minor advisories, which is a positive sign for overall condition.
