This 2004 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 92,641 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extensive history of issues requires thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows high annual mileage, averaging 14,056 miles/year, with a significant drop to 12 miles/year between March 2007 and October 2008, indicating a period of very low usage.

Things to check

  • Extensive recurring major failures in suspension (2010, 2014) and bodywork (2009, 2010).
  • Multiple major failures for lights (2009), windscreen (2009), and tyres (2009, 2010).
  • Consistent high annual mileage (14,056 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
  • Suspiciously low mileage (12 mi/yr equivalent) recorded before June 2010.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
  • No recurring dangerous defects or structural corrosion issues.
