This 2002 Ford has 7 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 52,944 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the vehicle's age and consistent high usage raise significant concerns about its long-term reliability and maintenance.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,867 miles per year, with a notable spike of 24,399 miles between Aug 2006 and Jul 2007.
Things to check
- High mileage (145,016 miles by Aug 2010) suggests heavy wear and tear.
- Recurring brake advisories (Aug 2009) escalated to a failure (Aug 2010).
- Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) indicate chronic wear.
- Corrosion on Offside Rear Brake pipe (Aug 2009 advisory) is a safety concern.
Working in its favour
- No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history.
- Consistent annual mileage, no suspicious drops or round numbers.
- MOT valid until 2011-08-09, indicating a recent pass.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension.
