This 2001 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 39,050 miles. The extremely low mileage of 39,050 miles over 25 years, combined with a mileage anomaly, raises serious concerns about its true condition and potential odometer fraud.

The vehicle shows a critically low mileage of 39,050 miles over 25 years, with a significant anomaly of only +2 miles between June 2006 and June 2007, suggesting potential odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2015-06-10; vehicle is currently untaxed and not valid for road use.
  • Six major failures and eight major defects recorded across 16 MOT tests.
  • Recurring brake system failures (8 major) and suspension issues (7 advisories) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Mileage of 39,050 miles over 25 years is significantly below average, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner addressed immediate issues.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repairs after failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Ford 1.2L petrol engine is generally robust and has a long service life.
