This 2004 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 45,887 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and recurring issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 17,900 miles/year, with a significant spike in 2008 (+34,447 miles in one year) and a notable drop in 2011 (+10,435 miles).

Things to check

  • Two MOT failures (May 2009, Mar 2012) with no defect details provided.

  • High mileage (187,199 miles by Jun 2014) for a 22-year-old vehicle.
  • MOT expired in 2015, but a new one was issued (Jun 2014), indicating a gap in roadworthiness.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage, despite being high for its age.
  • No recurring major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects.
