This 2008 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 31,235 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the recurring nature of these issues suggests significant ongoing maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent high usage, averaging 12,314 miles per year, with a notable 6,300-mile discrepancy on 30 Aug 2013, indicating a potential retest anomaly.

Things to check

  • Offside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2020) — recurring issue.
  • Nearside Front Position lamp not working (Aug 2020) — recurring lighting failure.
  • Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements (Sep 2019) — immediate safety concern.
  • Windscreen wiper does not clear effectively (Aug 2020) — indicates poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2021-09-04, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion noted in the MOT history.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
