Things to check

- Mileage anomaly: 41,346 miles by Feb 2015, then only 1,425 miles by Mar 2016 — suggests odometer fraud or severe underuse.
- Severe engine history: Community reports list 'head gasket' and 'overheating' as high-risk issues for this 5.4L engine variant.
- No valid MOT: Vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, meaning it cannot be legally driven on public roads.
Working in its favour
- Clean MOT pass record: 3 consecutive passes with no failures recorded, indicating no immediate safety concerns.
- No dangerous defects: All MOT tests show no dangerous defects, which is a positive for roadworthiness.
- Low annual mileage: Average of 13,351 miles/year is lower than typical, suggesting less wear and tear on components.
