This 2006 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 23,706 miles. The vehicle is currently not road legal and requires immediate attention.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 6,654 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Not valid MOT since 2017-04-15, meaning it has been off-road for 7+ years.
  • Multiple high-risk engine and timing issues (head gasket, overheating, timing chain) are community-reported for this model.
  • The 2017-04-15 MOT expiry date is 8 years past, indicating a critical lapse in roadworthiness.
  • The vehicle's 20-year age means it will likely require significant mechanical and cosmetic work.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,654 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No recurring major MOT failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
  • The vehicle has a long, consistent MOT history since its first test in 2009.
