This 2007 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 29,404 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2019-01-16, which is a major red flag.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage of 9,870 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • Not valid MOT since 2019-01-16 (5+ years expired).
  • 5 test failures across 14 MOTs, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories (7+ tests) signal systemic issues.
  • Persistent exhaust leaks (6+ tests) point to a long-standing, unresolved problem.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage for its age (9,870 mi/yr).
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • Immediate retests after failures show owner's attempts to address issues.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
