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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 36,880 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a recent MOT expiry date of 2027-04-09, presents a significant risk.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 5,378 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 172 miles recorded between April 2025 and March 2026.

Things to check

Recurring major brake failures (May 2021, May 2023, May 2024) and advisories (May 2021, May 2023) indicate systemic neglect.
Persistent suspension issues (coil spring, suspension arm, ball joint advisories across 7 tests) suggest chronic structural wear.
The 2012-10-24 MOT failure for insufficient washer liquid and a 1.6mm tyre tread depth, combined with a 2013-10-23 failure for distorted bead rims, points to poor maintenance.
A 2013-10-23 advisory for 'Offside Front Lower Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint' was never addressed, escalating to a failure in May 2024.

Working in its favour

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2027-04-09, indicating it is roadworthy for the next three years.
No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars is average for its era, not a significant positive, but not a red flag either.
