This 2009 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 35,443 miles. The vehicle's past issues with overheating and timing chain problems, as reported by the community, further complicate its assessment.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 91,246 miles in Dec 2019 to 99,522 miles in Jan 2021, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a major discrepancy.
