AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 21,350 miles. While issues were addressed, the consistent need for repairs suggests potential underlying wear and tear.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,816 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 onwards, indicating minimal recent use.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Aug 2019, Aug 2023) and advisories (Aug 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Multiple lighting failures (Aug 2019, Aug 2023) and advisories (Aug 2025) suggest a history of electrical issues.
  • Tyre advisories (Aug 2015, Aug 2019, Aug 2025) and exhaust advisories (Aug 2025) are recurring, indicating significant upcoming maintenance.
  • The 2011 Ford 1.2L engine has a history of overheating and head gasket issues, which could be a concern for this specific model.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,816 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsive ownership.
