This 2009 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 46,589 miles. The vehicle also shows a significant service gap in 2022.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,164 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2022 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (2018, 2020, 2021) escalated to major failures (Oct 2020, Feb 2025).
- Exhaust advisories (2018, 2020, 2021) are recurring, indicating a persistent issue.
- A 2022 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.
- Consistent low annual mileage (2,778–10,263 miles/year) for a 17-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,164 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
