2016 Ford Freedom 1.5L Diesel · SF16 HCE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 January 2026 at 38,711 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, indicating the car has remained in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,871 miles per year. Between December 2022 and January 2026, the odometer moved from 32,180 to 38,711 miles, confirming a pattern of light use. A brief anomaly occurred in January 2025, where the car failed on 6 January at 36,565 miles but passed shortly after on 25 January at 36,595 miles. The lack of recorded defects for that failure suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, there are no specific red flags in the data. However, the low annual mileage increases the risk of components degrading due to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for flat spots or perishing and check for brake caliper binding, as vehicles that stand for long periods often suffer from seized sliders or surface rust on the discs. The absence of structural integrity warnings or exhaust emission failures suggests the chassis and engine have been well preserved. Focus the physical inspection on fluid levels and rubber seals, as these can dry out and leak when a car is not driven frequently. Overall, the documentary evidence suggests a vehicle that has been lightly used and maintained to a standard that avoids chronic mechanical faults.
