This 2003 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 22,881 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2019 MOT expiry, raises significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,541 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2006 and 2008, and a subsequent period of very low annual mileage.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,541 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use and potential neglect.
  • The 2019-06-12 MOT expiry is now past, meaning the vehicle is currently not legally roadworthy and requires immediate re-MOT.
  • Consistent advisories for exhaust and subframe corrosion across multiple tests highlight significant structural and mechanical wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
  • No MOT failures recorded across 14 tests, indicating no immediate safety-critical defects.
  • Consistent annual mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes, suggesting genuine low usage.
  • The vehicle has been consistently maintained with regular MOT tests and immediate retests for any advisories.
