This 2017 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate. The recent MOT pass in May 2026 is positive, but the underlying engine reliability issues need thorough investigation.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 9,052 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes detected across 8 MOT tests.
Things to check
- Coolant leak and head gasket issues reported by owners since 2017–present.
- Recent May 2026 MOT pass followed a failure, indicating a borderline pass.
- Service gap in 2025 suggests potential unaddressed maintenance or off-road use.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars for 2017 Ford indicates a below-average safety rating for its age.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,052 miles/year, aligning with UK norms.
- No recurring major MOT failures or advisories on critical safety systems.
- Current MOT is valid until April 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or suspicious mileage patterns in the MOT history.
