2004 Ford F150 5.4L Petrol · V8 WYG

The February 2026 MOT at 71,587 miles recorded a clean pass with zero defects, indicating that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilized after earlier failures. The recorded mileage averages about 3,254 miles per year over 22 years, a relatively low figure that suggests light usage or extended periods of inactivity; mileage rose from 63,689 miles in June 2016 to 71,587 miles by February 2026, a gain of 7,898 miles over ten years, with no abrupt spikes evident in the log. A buyer should therefore inspect the structural integrity of the off‑side integral body and outrigger, which showed corrosion and fracture in the July 2024 test, and verify that the near‑side front brake pipe is not twisted or compromised; also examine suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or wear, and confirm that the exhaust system meets emission limits and that the parking brake operates within specification. Given the recurring corrosion, brake‑pipe deformation and previous parking‑brake efficiency failures, a thorough physical check of these components, together with a review of tyre tread depth and headlamp alignment, will confirm whether the vehicle can sustain continued safe operation.
