FORD MAVERICK1995 · 2.7L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly questionable based on the available data, which concludes abruptly over fourteen years ago. The last recorded test in October 2011 at 188,491 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure involving multiple critical safety and structural defects. Since there are no MOT entries following 2011, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unverified and likely degraded beyond legal standards. The maintenance trend shows a significant decline in structural integrity before the record ceased entirely. The vehicle has covered 188,491 miles over approximately thirty-one years, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. While this mileage is consistent with typical age-related use, the record shows a concerning gap between 2009 and 2011 where the vehicle covered only 8,000 miles in two years. The lack of data for the last fourteen years suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or been off-road, which often leads to perished rubber components, seized calipers, and accelerated internal corrosion regardless of low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the chassis. The October 2011 test flagged excessive corrosion on suspension component mounting areas and a corroded rear brake pipe, which are indicative of deep-seated rust. Recurring failures in the steering arms, tie bars, and shock absorber bushes suggest a history of neglect regarding the front end geometry. The braking system also requires immediate scrutiny, as the final test recorded low efficiency for both the service and parking brakes alongside a failing nearside rear mechanism.
