This 2009 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 4,093 miles. The mileage is also significantly below average, raising serious questions about its true condition and usage.

The vehicle shows a consistent but very low annual mileage of 3,515 miles/year, with a significant drop to 1,130 miles/year between Dec 2024 and Jan 2026, indicating potential odometer issues or prolonged disuse.

Working in its favour
