Part service history to me says move on. Its just not worth what your asking.
For £500 less you can get one from a dealer with a warranty with a full Ford service history and paperwork/receipts,
slightly more miles but neglible.0 -

Purchased in Nov 2018 for £3k. I am not scared of cars with 100k - 125k miles with a proper service history. Your 3 owners and
lack of a decent service history put me off right away.
So you have a trade price of £3800 and you think its worth £5k ? Is a billion miles 30k miles more than yours? £3800 sounds like
a good price.
