This 2009 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 29,612 miles. The vehicle's age and accumulated wear warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,990 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (Nov 2023, Dec 2025).
  • Recurring suspension arm bush failures and advisories (Oct 2018, Nov 2023).
  • Multiple tyre advisories (Nov 2019, Nov 2023) and a headlamp aim failure (Nov 2023).
  • The vehicle is 17 years old, which means significant accumulated wear and potential future repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a long history of regular MOT testing, showing continuous use and maintenance.
