This 2002 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 37,170 miles. The 'Just Passed MOT' tactic is also evident, with a recent MOT pass immediately after a failure.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,724 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • High-risk timing chain and head gasket issues are community-reported for this model.
  • Two major MOT failures (lights, windscreen) in 2006 and 2010, with immediate retests.
  • The 2011 MOT failure for wipers and headlamp aim, then immediate retest, suggests reactive maintenance.
  • The 2012 MOT failure for wipers, then immediate retest, shows a pattern of minimal repairs.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,724 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
  • The 2012 MOT pass after a failure indicates the owner addressed the issue promptly.
