This 2002 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 56,875 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2017-08-22, which is a major legal and safety concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,581 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes detected.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2017-08-22 — vehicle is currently unroadworthy.
  • 8 major failures across 20 tests (Jun 2009–Aug 2016) indicates chronic neglect and poor maintenance.
  • Tyres failed 9 times and lights failed 8 times, showing a clear pattern of recurring safety-critical issues.
  • The Feb 2006 advisory for 'Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin' escalated to a failure in Jun 2012, highlighting a lack of proactive maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory averaging 8,581 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent service interval of every 12,500 miles or 12 months.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) suggests a reasonable level of safety for its era.
