This 2006 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 41,868 miles. However, the vehicle's age and potential for significant engine issues, as highlighted by community reports, warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 10,625 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 41,868 miles recorded by Nov 2009.
Things to check
- Two MOT failures (Nov 2010, Nov 2012) with no defect details provided.
- Recurring exhaust advisories noted in 2010 and 2012 tests.
- Community reports highlight severe engine issues (head gasket, overheating, timing chain) for this model.
- The vehicle is currently untaxed and has a not valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 10,625 miles/year since 2006.
- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
- The 2017 Euro NCAP rating of 3/5 stars indicates a reasonable safety standard for its era.
