1996 Ford Freda 2.5L Diesel · N142 PFB

The 2006 Ford Freda presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 9 May 2025 at 160,000 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with the most recent pass confirming the vehicle met test standards fourteen months before the current date. No worsening mechanical faults or escalating advisory patterns appear in the record. The odometer has held at 160,000 miles across every test from 28 April 2023 through to May 2025. That flat line over more than two years is atypical for a vehicle averaging 8,000 miles annually by age, and suggests the clock figure was not advanced between tests or the car stood largely unused. The sparse record shows only pass and fail outcomes with no defects logged on any date, so the data gives little insight into consumable wear or structural condition. Two failed tests precede passes by roughly two weeks each, on 24 April 2025 and 22 April 2024, yet the records list no defects for either failure. This pattern implies administrative or presentation issues at initial submission rather than rectified mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's twenty-year age and static high mileage. Verify the true mileage with service invoices or prior keeper statements before purchase. The absence of recorded advisories offers no assurance that tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity are sound beyond the test days cited.
