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 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 7,126 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year gap in MOT records, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,792 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap (2017-2020) in MOT records and no mileage recorded.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,792 mi/yr) for a 16-year-old vehicle.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (Apr 2022, 2024) and steering (Apr 2022, 2024).
  • Recurring advisories for suspension (13 times), tyres (6 times), and exhaust (3 times).
  • A 3-year MOT history gap (2017-2020) with no mileage recorded.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests after initial failures.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Apr 2026).
