This 2006 Ford has 27 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 19,784 miles. The most critical issue is a 20-year history of recurring engine oil and emissions advisories, escalating to major failures, which is a classic sign of internal engine wear or coolant issues.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 19,784 miles over 20 years (Jan 2006 to 2009-06-30), then 87,792 miles by Aug 2018, indicating a 19-year period of extremely low usage (524 miles/year equivalent) followed by a significant spike.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 5 major failures across critical safety systems (lights, windscreen, tyres, brakes, suspension) from 2019–2025.
- MOT HISTORY: 13 recurring advisories on engine oil and emissions across 5 separate tests from 2019–2025.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: 19-year period of only 19,784 miles (Jan 2006 to 2009-06-30), then 87,792 miles by Aug 2018, indicating a 19-year period of extremely low usage followed by a significant spike.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: The 19-year period of only 19,784 miles is a clear red flag for potential long-term inactivity or storage, which can cause severe internal engine and transmission wear.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until 2026-08-05, indicating it is roadworthy for the next year.
- MILEAGE TRAJECTORY: The vehicle shows normal annual mileage of 6,823 miles/year from 2018 onwards, consistent with typical UK usage.
- MILEAGE CONSISTENCY: After the initial 19-year period of very low usage, the subsequent mileage trajectory is consistent and shows no anomalies from 2018 onwards.
