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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 62,497 miles. The high mileage and recurring issues suggest significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 19,701 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable 0-mileage increase between Jan 2019 and Jan 2020.

Things to check

  • Jan 2020: Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit — an immediate safety concern.
  • Jan 2020: Multiple advisories for brakes, suspension, and steering — indicates widespread wear.
  • Jan 2020: Major exhaust leak failure — a significant safety and emissions issue.
  • Jan 2020: Dangerous fuel system defect recorded — a critical safety failure.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory — no signs of odometer fraud.
  • All failures were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years.
  • Recent MOT pass (Jan 2020) provides immediate roadworthiness.
