This 2004 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 124,802 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and numerous recurring advisories suggest substantial upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 16,679 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 1,023 miles/year recorded before Mar 2007, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.
Things to check
- High mileage of 171,003 miles (Mar 2014) for a 2004 vehicle is a significant wear indicator.
- Recurring advisories for brakes (5 items), suspension (4 items), and lights (8 items) across multiple tests.
- The 2013 service gap and SORN status suggest periods of neglect or inactivity.
- The 2004 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite wear.
- No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent MOT history with no significant gaps in testing.
