This 2004 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 22,693 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 22,693 miles over 22 years, averaging 6,270 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 8 failures and 10 passes across 18 tests.
  • Major recurring failures in lights (9 times), washer (3 times), and exhaust (3 times) indicate systemic neglect.
  • A 2016 service gap is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect or off-road status.
  • The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

Working in its favour

  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 6,270 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) beyond the noted electrical and lighting issues.
