This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 28,470 miles. The pattern of dangerous defects, major failures, and persistent advisories makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,947 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes failed in Oct 2024, indicating a serious safety hazard.
- Recurring Suspension failures: Multiple major failures and advisories for ball joints and coil springs across 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests.
- Recurring Steering failures: Multiple major failures and advisories for track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints across 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests.
- Recurring Tyre advisories: Front and rear tyres consistently noted as worn close to legal limit across 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2025 tests.
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,947 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, indicating responsive ownership.
