2013 Ford Electricity · VX13 CPF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2024 at 87,152 miles resulted in a pass despite both the nearside and offside front tyres being near the legal limit with uneven wear. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically capable of passing, the owner defers consumable replacements until they reach a failure threshold. At 87,152 miles over 13 years, the car averages approximately 6,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage patterns for this age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between November 2021 and November 2022, and another 6,000 miles between November 2022 and March 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion in older, low-mileage cars. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the uneven edge wear noted in the 2024 test often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. The history of lighting failures in 2020 and 2022 indicates a lack of basic electrical inspections, so the buyer should verify all bulbs and wiring. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion and exhaust sags is essential, as the MOT record does not yet flag any structural integrity issues.
