2020 Ford Freedom 1.5L Diesel · SF70 EBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 11 August 2025 at 31,891 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, despite a brief failure just six days prior to that pass. The failure relating to both the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joint dust covers indicates that a specific mechanical issue was identified and subsequently rectified immediately before the retest. At six years old, the 2020 Ford Freom has covered significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The records show consistent usage patterns, with 5,000 miles recorded between the August 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 7,303 miles covered by August 2025. This low-mileage profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension components if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the ball joints replaced after the August 2025 failure were fitted correctly. Since the failure involved dust cover ingress, checking for play in the steering joints or signs of grease leakage is essential to confirm the repair was thorough. Given the low annual mileage, also examine the braking system for excessive surface corrosion or seized pistons, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from rusted discs and calipers due to lack of heat-induced cleaning.
