This 2004 Ford has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 30,547 miles. The mileage trajectory is also highly irregular, with periods of very low annual usage.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage for its age, averaging only 6,531 miles/year, with a significant drop to 4,210 miles/year between April 2019 and July 2020.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in April 2019 and April 2019 retest.
  • Major failure for Rear Brakes imbalanced in October 2022.
  • Major failure for Engine/Oil in October 2023.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on the same critical system (e.g., brakes, suspension).
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes since 2020.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT in October 2025.
