This 2001 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 46% pass rate and 72,212 miles. The recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems, combined with unexplained mileage anomalies, present an unacceptable risk.
The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease of 79,824 miles between Nov 2008 (94,805 mi) and Nov 2009 (14,981 mi), and another decrease of 55,694 miles between Apr 2011 (98,972 mi) and Apr 2012 (43,278 mi), indicating possible odometer tampering.

- Recurring major failures in brakes (15 times), tyres (4 times), and suspension (8 times) across multiple tests.
