FORD MAVERICK2003 · 2.0L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly questionable due to a lack of documented testing for nearly a decade. The last recorded test occurred in August 2016 at 145,554 miles, which resulted in a comprehensive failure involving multiple mechanical and structural defects. Since no MOT has been presented since that date, there is no verified evidence of the current safety status or mechanical integrity of the vehicle. The maintenance trend suggests a period of neglect following the final inspection where the car suffered from numerous systemic failures. The vehicle has covered 145,554 miles over 23 years, averaging approximately 6,328 miles per year. While this usage level is typical for a vehicle of this age, the data shows a significant gap in records. Between February 2015 and August 2016, the vehicle covered roughly 11,500 miles, but the absence of records after 2016 suggests it may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to perished rubber components, fluid degradation, and the seizure of braking components regardless of the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must focus heavily on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the 2016 failure identified corrosion on suspension component mounting areas and inner sills. The tester also flagged excessive play in the anti-roll bar linkages, track rod ends, and wheel bearings. The recurring issue of deteriorated brake hoses in 2014, combined with reported oil leaks and pitted brake discs, indicates a history of deferred maintenance. Given the decade-old data, a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for rust and the condition of all perished rubber hoses is mandatory to ensure the vehicle has not deteriorated beyond economical repair.
