This 2002 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 65,468 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for several years, which is a major red flag for a 24-year-old vehicle.

The mileage shows a significant drop from 65,468 miles in Oct 2006 to 76,692 miles in Jul 2008, then a drastic decrease to 89,583 miles by Dec 2012, indicating a period of very low or no usage.
