2018 Ford Freedom 1.5L Diesel · JB68 APB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 1 April 2025 at 22,993 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five tests indicates that the vehicle has remained in a good mechanical condition without recurring structural or component failures being flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,874 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 12,664 miles and April 2025 at 22,993 miles, the car covered just 10,329 miles, suggesting a pattern of short-distance trips or extended storage. The 1,798-mile gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows consistent low usage, though the overall low mileage presents different risks compared to high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low mileage and stationary periods. Low-use vehicles often suffer from flat spotting on tyres, corrosion on brake discs due to lack of friction heat, and perished rubber components in the suspension and seals. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the underbody should be checked for surface oxidation and fluid leaks to ensure the vehicle has not degraded during its long periods of inactivity.
