FORD MAVERICK1998 · 2.7L DIESEL

This vehicle presents a highly unusual and problematic MOT history. The most recent recorded entry is from October 2012, which means the car has no recorded MOT history for the last 14 years. This is a significant red flag, as the vehicle is currently untested and potentially illegal to drive on public roads. The historical data from 2008 to 2012 shows a stable pattern of clean passes with no recorded defects. However, this data is extremely outdated and does not reflect the current mechanical state of the vehicle. Because there has been no testing for over a decade, it is impossible to determine if the condition is stable, improving, or worsening. The recorded mileage of 117,221 miles is notably low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging only about 4,186 miles per year. While low mileage can suggest less wear on the drivetrain and brakes, it often implies long periods of inactivity. For a vehicle of this age, extended periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components, seized calipers, degraded fuel, and perished tyres. The lack of recent documentation combined with the low, potentially stagnant mileage makes this a high-risk purchase.
