This 2002 Ford has 3 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 76,680 miles. While the MOT history is generally clean, the underlying engine issues present a significant risk.
The vehicle shows high annual usage of 16,294 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike of +17,696 miles between Nov 2006 and Oct 2007.
Things to check
- High mileage of 94,376 miles by Oct 2007 indicates significant wear and tear.
- Multiple owner-reported faults for the 2.0 EcoBoost engine, including overheating and head gasket issues, are a major concern.
- The 2007-10-16 failure for a lamp, though minor, suggests a lack of thorough pre-MOT checks.
- The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- The single 2007-10-16 MOT failure for a lamp was immediately rectified, showing a responsive owner.
- No recurring major failures are evident in the MOT history, suggesting the owner addressed issues promptly.
- The vehicle has a consistent mileage history, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
