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 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 30,148 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated wear items present significant upcoming maintenance costs.
The vehicle exhibits consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,967 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage over its 16-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Dangerous Nearside Front Tyre defect recorded on 2026-02-20, indicating a critical safety failure.
- Recurring suspension advisories (11 items) across 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2026 MOTs, suggesting chronic wear.
- Recurring exhaust advisories (4 items) across 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2026 MOTs, indicating ongoing corrosion.
- Recurring coil spring and suspension arm advisories (3 items) across 2015, 2016, and 2026 MOTs, indicating structural neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-01, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,967 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain wear.
- No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering, only advisories.
