2016 Ford Edge 2.0L Diesel · LL16 AEM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that appears stable following recent reactive repairs. The most recent test on 23 June 2026 at 84,176 miles resulted in no defects, following a narrow pass just eleven weeks prior. That previous June 2026 test had flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored discs on both rear sides, but the clean sheet in July suggests the owner addressed these specific wear items immediately after the initial warning. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 49,437 miles in June 2021 to 84,176 miles by June 2026. There are no signs of long periods of stagnation or sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate unusual usage patterns. The intervals between testing suggest a consistent approach to annual compliance, despite the occasional mechanical component failures noted throughout the history. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the rear braking system, as the history shows a recurring issue with corrosion and wear on the discs and pads dating back to 2019. While these are consumable items, the frequency of pitting suggests the vehicle may sit for short periods or operate in damp environments. Additionally, the 2022 failure for front tyres wearing on the edges indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension bushing wear that should be verified to ensure uneven wear has not returned. Final checks on the headlamp alignment and wiper blades are warranted, as these caused failures in 2023 and 2024. Although these are minor adjustments, the recurring nature suggests a pattern of only fixing faults when they fail an MOT. The tyre pressure monitoring system, which failed in 2021, should also be confirmed as functional to ensure no underlying electrical fault remains.
