This 2018 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 12,619 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, raising serious concerns about its true condition and maintenance.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, with only 12,619 miles recorded over 8 years, and a significant drop in recorded annual usage (e.g., 27 mi/yr before May 2022, 253 mi/yr before Apr 2023).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (May 2026): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
- Critical 2-year MOT history gap (May 2025–May 2026) is a major red flag for unverified condition.
- Dangerous Tyre Defect: Both front tyres failed for tread depth in May 2026, indicating poor maintenance.
- Suspiciously Low Mileage: Recorded annual usage of 5,058 miles/yr is well below UK average, raising questions about its true condition.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-17, confirming current roadworthiness and no immediate MOT costs.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems (brakes, suspension, steering) in the recent history.
- Immediate retest and pass after May 2026 failure, showing the owner's prompt action to address issues.
- The 1.5L EcoBoost engine is known for its durability and reliability, despite some specific weaknesses.
