This 2009 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 25,129 miles. While recent MOTs are clean, the history of dangerous brake failures and recurring tyre advisories demands thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2020 (249 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a 3-year MOT gap (Feb 2022–Jul 2025) during which mileage is unverified, indicating potential neglect or long periods off-road.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2025): Offside Rear Brake valve leaking such that brake functionality is affected (1.1.
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Brake valve leaking (Jan 2019) — immediate safety concern.
- 3-year MOT gap: No test recorded for 3 years (Feb 2022–Jul 2025) — unverified mileage and potential neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories: Four separate tyre-related advisories across 3 tests (Jan 2019, Mar 2013, Feb 2022) — consistent wear pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-29 — no immediate retest required.
- No recurring major failures in recent tests — last failure was 3 years ago.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2021 — no sudden spikes or drops.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance — clean DVLA status.
