This 2005 Ford has 24 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 11,627 miles. The extremely low annual usage (2,306 miles/year) raises significant questions about its maintenance and true condition.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 48,617 miles over 21 years, averaging only 2,306 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2026-01-31 (test 5) — immediate safety concern.
- Extremely low annual mileage (2,306 miles/year) for a 21-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2020, Feb 2021, Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) and a major failure (Feb 2021) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring engine oil advisories (Jan 2020, Feb 2021, Jan 2022, Jan 2023, Jan 2024, Jan 2025) suggest a persistent maintenance issue.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-05, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering after initial issues were addressed.
- Consistent retest passes after failures, showing prompt owner action to rectify defects.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
