This 2009 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 16,151 miles. The MOT history shows recurring issues and a dangerous defect, making this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging only 2,921 miles per year, with a significant anomaly of 16,151 miles recorded in September 2012, far below UK average.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 50,235 miles over 17 years (typical: 100,633 miles).
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Steering rack gaiter insecure (Sep 2013) — critical safety failure.
  • Recurring issues: Front Bonnet cannot be secured advisory (Sep 2013) — unresolved for years.
  • Very low annual usage: 2,921 miles/year suggests long periods of inactivity or potential issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory despite low annual usage.
  • No immediate MOT retest required.
