FORD 2010 · Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 81,948 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a streak of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety systems have remained within tolerance parameters without recurring failures. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,122 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered 13,762 miles, showing consistent but light-duty usage. The only anomaly occurred in October 2022 at 63,275 miles where a failure was recorded immediately followed by a successful pass on the same day. This suggests a minor issue that was addressed instantly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stagnation rather than high mileage. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidew, which can perish from age regardless of use. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel pans, as older vehicles are prone to surface rust that may not yet meet a failure threshold but requires monitoring attention.
