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

This 2007 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 20,907 miles. The provided MOT history is also incomplete and contradictory, making a reliable assessment impossible.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,421 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.

Things to check

  • MOT status 'Not valid' with 2025-07-12 expiry is a critical contradiction.
  • Multiple recurring advisories for suspension, brakes, and steering components.
  • Major failures for steering, emissions, and body corrosion in 2023.
  • Engine overheating and head gasket issues reported in community knowledge.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,421 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories from 2024 onwards.
  • Relatively low mileage for a 19-year-old vehicle.
