This 2001 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 87% pass rate and 40,501 miles. The vehicle's age and potential for overheating issues require thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent usage until Oct 2018, but a significant 18,521-mile/year equivalent jump before its first MOT is a major concern.

Things to check

  • Oct 2018: Unusually high mileage jump (18,521 mi/yr equivalent) before first MOT.
  • Oct 2018: First MOT failure with no defect details provided.
  • Age: 25-year-old vehicle with high mileage for its age will have significant wear.

Working in its favour

  • Oct 2018: First MOT passed after initial failure, showing it was made roadworthy.
  • Consistent mileage: No suspicious drops or round numbers in the recent MOT history.
  • No dangerous defects: No immediate safety concerns flagged on the single
