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

This 2009 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 32,081 miles. The vehicle's past owner reported severe engine and timing chain issues, which are a major concern for this model.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Sep 2023 (477 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Aug 2025 (198 mi/yr equivalent), with a significant drop in annual usage from 8,000 miles to 200 miles.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low usage before Sep 2023 (477 mi/yr) and again before Aug 2025 (198 mi/yr).
  • Engine and timing chain history: Community reports of overheating, 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration, head gasket, and timing chain failures are severe for this model.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres were dangerously worn/damaged in Aug 2024, though later resolved.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-08, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2024 tyre issue.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2020, showing no recent large drops.
  • No recurring major system failures (brakes, steering) in recent tests.
