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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 35,264 miles. While many issues were addressed, the sheer volume of past failures and advisories warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,331 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated significantly over its 17-year lifespan.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 8 tests (Jun 2018, Jun 2019, Jul 2020, Jul 2022) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension failures/advisories across 6 tests (Jun 2019, Jul 2020, Jul 2021, Jul 2022, Jul 2023, Jul 2025) suggest ongoing structural issues.
- Major failures for lights (9 times) and brakes (1 time) in the MOT history highlight a history of reactive maintenance.
- The vehicle has been Untaxed since registration, which is a significant legal and administrative concern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-27, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage averaging 8,331 miles/year, indicating normal usage for its age.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, showing responsive ownership.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
