Ford Maverick MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Ford Mavericks in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Ford Maverick registrations over time

Registrations of Ford Mavericks for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 1,442 in 2002. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “New Maverick”, “Maverick”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Throttle may stick in the fully open position

Launched 26 September 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/092 Manufacturer ref. 2c461

Defect
On affected vehicles there may be inadequate clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable which could cause the throttle to stick when the accelerator pedal is fully or almost fully depressed.
Remedy
The engine cover will be modified as detailed in the associated service instructions and a revised rear stud and grommet assembly installed to raise the cover to provide additional clearance.
Vehicles affected
1,526 Maverick vehicles

Build dates not given

All 6 Ford Maverick recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Ford Maverick. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
