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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 16,203 miles. While many of these were addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,371 miles per year, with a significant drop to 2,626 miles/year between 2023 and 2024, indicating minimal recent use.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2019) escalated to a DANGEROUS failure (Jun 2021).
  • Multiple suspension advisories (Jul 2023) and failures (Jul 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Steering rack advisories (Jul 2023) and failures (Jul 2023) suggest persistent issues.
  • Corrosion on the rear subframe was noted as an advisory (Jul 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-22, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,371 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • All past failures and advisories were promptly addressed and retested successfully.
