This 2003 Ford has 19 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 32,668 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of repeated failures and advisories suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

Things to check

  • Wiper advisories (Oct 2009, Jun 2015) escalated to failures, showing a pattern of neglected maintenance.
  • Headlamp advisories (Nov 2008, Jun 2011) escalated to failures, highlighting a recurring electrical fault.
  • Tyre advisories (Jun 2011, Oct 2017) escalated to failures, suggesting a history of poor tyre condition.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory averaging 7,407 miles/year, well below UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
