This 2004 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 12,439 miles. The very low mileage, averaging only 2,461 miles per year, raises significant odometer integrity concerns.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 2,461 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 124 miles recorded before Feb 2018, and a significant drop to 3,175 miles/year from 2018 onwards.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures for Lights (Feb 2020, Feb 2022) and exhaust (Feb 2021, Feb 2022).

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes.
