This 2002 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 31,173 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues present significant risks.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage (661 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2013, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, raising odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2015-08-20; vehicle is currently on SORN with no valid MOT.
- Five major brake failures (Feb 2010, Nov 2008, Nov 2007) indicate chronic system neglect.
- Suspiciously low mileage (661 mi/yr equivalent) before Aug 2013 suggests potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring suspension and steering failures (Aug 2013, Nov 2007) point to structural wear.
Working in its favour
- Recent clean MOT pass (Aug 2014) after addressing multiple failures.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,799 miles/year since 2005.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT.
- The vehicle has a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for its era.
