This 2009 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 39,290 miles. The recurring nature of these issues, combined with a 17-year age and low mileage, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,119 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Offside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2012-03-20, indicating severe safety neglect.
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2022, Mar 2022) point to chronic maintenance issues.
- Recurring suspension bush wear advisories (Mar 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2023) suggest ongoing structural neglect.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,119 miles per year.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
