This 2002 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 64,998 miles. The high mileage and recurring electrical issues make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 19,711 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, with no evidence of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- No valid MOT since 2011-08-04, indicating it has been off-road for 9+ years.
- Four major failures (lights, brakes, steering) across 10 tests, showing persistent neglect.
- High annual mileage (19,711 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle is a significant red flag.
- Recurring headlamp and registration plate lamp failures (2006, 2007, 2008) indicate chronic electrical issues.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- No recurring major failures on the same system (e.g., brakes, suspension).
- The vehicle has a consistent high mileage, suggesting regular use and maintenance.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
