This 2003 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 64,018 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2014-03-27, which is a critical red flag for a 23-year-old car.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage at 11,319 miles/year, with no anomalies or suspicious readings, but the 2010 MOT gap is a concern.
Things to check
- MOT expired 2014-03-27; current status 'Not valid' — no active MOT.
- Recurring major failures: Brakes (4 failures), Windscreen (3 failures), Lights (3 failures), Suspension (1 failure).
- Recurring advisories: Brake hose (3 tests), Handbrake (2 tests), Position lamp (2 tests), Seatbelt (2 tests).
- Dangerous defect: Offside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded (Mar 2011) — critical safety failure.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no fraud indicators.
- No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years.
- Immediate retests for failures indicate owner's responsiveness to issues.
