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

This 2005 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 55% pass rate and 16,783 miles. The vehicle's 21-year age, combined with severe structural corrosion and suspension issues, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of 4,508 miles/year, with only 16,783 miles recorded over 21 years, which is highly suspicious for a 2005 car.

Things to check

  • Complete MOT failure on 2008-05-16 with no subsequent passes.
  • Major structural corrosion and seatbelt anchorage failures in 2008.
  • Offside front lower suspension arm rear bush splitting (2008-05-16).
  • Nearside front tyre 2.5mm and both front tyres wearing on edges (2008-05-16).

Working in its favour

  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 21-year-old vehicle.
