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

This 2010 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 20,561 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with safety-critical components warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing normal usage averaging 10,469 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant initial spike to 121,620 miles by Feb 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring corrosion advisories on subframe and suspension arms (May 2024, 2025, 2026) are a major concern.
  • Persistent tyre wear advisories (Feb 2019, May 2025, 2026) suggest a chronic maintenance issue.
  • Three MOT failures with no defect details (Feb 2019, Jun 2020, May 2024) are a significant transparency gap.
  • The 2010 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until June 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • The 5.4L diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability.
