Free Ford car check
Ford is Britain's perennial best-seller, so there are more used Fords on the market than almost any other make. That choice is great for buyers, but it also means a wide spread of condition and history, which is exactly why a check pays off.
Free MOT, mileage and DVLA data from official UK government records
What a free Ford check shows
Full MOT history
Every test, pass or fail, with advisories and the recorded mileage at each one.
Mileage & clocking
The mileage timeline, with any drop between tests flagged as possible clocking.
Tax & recalls
Current tax status and any outstanding manufacturer safety recall.
DVLA details
Make, model, year, fuel, engine, CO2, colour and V5C logbook date.
What to check on a used Ford
- EcoBoost engines: ask about the coolant and (on older 1.0s) any history of overheating or wet-belt servicing.
- High-mileage Fiestas and Focuses are common ex-fleet and ex-rental cars, so check the mileage rises steadily across MOTs.
- Look for clutch and DPS6 PowerShift gearbox history on automatic Focus and Fiesta models.
