This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 42,951 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing 42,951 miles in March 2016 and 159,056 miles in January 2026, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension failures (2021, 2023) and advisories (2020, 2021) indicate chronic wear.
- Multiple tyre failures (2018, 2023, 2026) and advisories (2020, 2021, 2022) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Brake disc wear (2020, 2021) and pad wear (2020) escalated to a DANGEROUS failure in Feb 2021.
- Emissions failures (2021, 2023) and exhaust leak (2021) point to potential engine or DPF issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
