This 2003 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 8,995 miles. This, combined with very low overall mileage for its age, raises serious concerns about odometer integrity.
A critical mileage anomaly exists: 15,090 miles recorded on 2009-10-22, then only 1,827 miles on 2010-10-22, indicating possible tampering.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2009 (15,090 mi) and Oct 2010 (1,827 mi) — possible odometer tampering
- Mileage decreased from 15,090 mi (Oct 2009) to 1,827 mi (Oct 2010) — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Very low total mileage of 37,464 miles over 23 years, well below UK average.
- Recurring advisories on tyres, brakes, and suspension across multiple tests (2018–2022).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-20, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No MOT failures recorded across 8 tests, showing no immediate safety concerns.
- Consistent retesting and immediate resolution of minor defects (e.g., wiper, 2007-10-16).
- No dangerous defects or major structural failures identified in MOT history.
