FORD F1502002 · 5.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 108,433 miles with no recorded defects. This success follows a failure in August 2025 at just one mile prior, which suggests a minor issue or administrative oversight that was rectified immediately. Overall, the maintenance history across the last six years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between August 2021 and August 2025, during which the vehicle covered only 2,528 miles. This period of infrequent use suggests the truck sits for long durations, which can be more detrimental to certain components than high annual mileage. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of perished seals, seized brake calipers, and fluid degradation due to inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and frame rails, as older-age trucks are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the long intervals between use, check the rubber components including suspension bushes, CV boots, and brake lines for signs of cracking or dry rot. Inspect the braking system for pitting on discs and seized pistons, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion that can lead to binding.
