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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 46,589 miles. The vehicle also shows a significant service gap in 2022.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,164 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2022 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (2018, 2020, 2021) escalated to major failures (Oct 2020, Feb 2025).
  • Exhaust advisories (2018, 2020, 2021) are recurring, indicating a persistent issue.
  • A 2022 service gap is noted, suggesting potential periods of neglect or off-road use.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (2,778–10,263 miles/year) for a 17-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until March 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,164 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are recorded in the MOT history.
