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 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 5,914 miles. While it has a long MOT, the history of tyre issues and unexplained low mileage warrant a thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,606 miles per year, with a critical 19-year gap in MOT mileage readings from 2013-09-12 to 2019-04-01.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,606 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle.
  • Major tyre failure recorded on 2022-06-22, indicating severe neglect.
  • Unexplained 19-year gap in MOT mileage readings from 2013-09-12 to 2019-04-01.
  • Community reports highlight severe overheating and head gasket issues for this model.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-24, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Immediate retest passes after failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory since 2019, despite low overall usage.
