This 2008 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 32,050 miles. The vehicle's history of overheating and timing chain issues also warrants careful investigation.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 32,050 miles in 2011, then only 26,583 miles in the next 14 years, indicating a possible odometer fraud or significant underuse.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 58,543 miles over 18 years (typical: 100,633 miles).
  • Mileage anomaly: 32,050 miles in 2011, then only 26,583 miles in the next 14 years.
  • Recurring advisories: Tyres (8 advisories), Lights (4 advisories), Suspension (3 advisories) across multiple tests.
  • High-risk community-reported faults: overheating, 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration, head gasket, timing chain.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (3,355 miles/yr) suggests light use.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded.
  • Immediate retests after failures show responsive owner repairs.
