2004 Ford F150 5.4L Petrol · LJ04 AEP

The 2004 Ford F150 stands roadworthy per the latest DVSA examination on 27 November 2025, roughly eight months before today, which passed the truck at 51,148 miles with no defects logged. Maintenance trend reads stable across the five-year record. The sole blemish is a failure on 30 September 2024 at 46,751 miles that listed no defects; eight days later the same vehicle passed at 46,768 miles clean. That pattern points to an administrative or procedural reject rather than creeping mechanical decay. Mileage accrual stays strikingly low for a 22-year-old vehicle. In the 2022 test on 10 September the odometer showed 45,908 miles. Twelve months later it recorded 45,971 miles, a mere 63-mile annual gain. The 2024 pair of tests bracket a 17-mile difference. By the November 2025 pass it had reached 51,148 miles, meaning about 4,380 miles added in thirteen months. Sparse, clean entries suggest previous owners kept the pickup lightly used, likely garaged, though long stationary periods risk unseen deterioration. A buyer must still inspect structural and mechanical areas that MOT sheets never flagged. The history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. Age and inactivity can hide chassis corrosion or binding calipers from standing. Check underside rails for rust, confirm brake release after storage, and scrutinise tyres for sidewall cracking. The unexplained 2024 fail warrants a request for the original failure notice to rule out missed faults.
