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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 27,925 miles. The most critical concern is a 17-year history of owner-reported engine issues, including overheating and head gasket problems, which are extremely costly to resolve.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2023 (494 mi/yr equivalent), Jan 2024 (846 mi/yr), and Feb 2025 (524 mi/yr), followed by normal usage thereafter, indicating periods of very low or no use.
Things to check
- Recurring steering advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2023) escalated to a major failure (Jan 2023).
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Jan 2021, Jan 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Jan 2022) indicate consistent wear.
- Extremely low mileage recorded before Jan 2023 (494 mi/yr equivalent) and Feb 2025 (524 mi/yr).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent annual mileage of 6,240 miles since 2019, aligning with UK average.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers.
