This 2010 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 43,466 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with periods of very low annual usage followed by sudden spikes, raising serious fraud concerns.
The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, showing very low annual usage (e.g., 2,239 miles 2020-2021) followed by sudden spikes (e.g., 10,821 miles 2024-2025), which is a classic red flag for odometer fraud.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-03-05 (Mar 2019 FAIL).
- Recurring major failures in suspension (6 times) and brakes (4 advisories, 1 failure) across multiple tests.
- Irregular mileage pattern: 2,239 miles 2020-2021, then 10,821 miles 2024-2025 — strong odometer fraud indicator.
- Multiple recurring advisories on the same components (tyres, headlamps, coil springs, brake discs) indicate systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- No current MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded on the most recent test (Apr 2026 PASS).
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,758 miles/year, which is slightly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
