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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 55,339 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a missing MOT and a 21-year data gap, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle has a 21-year MOT history gap, with no mileage recorded between 2008 and 2019, and a suspiciously low 199 mi/yr equivalent before Mar 2017.

Things to check

  • No MOT history available for 21 years (2008–2019).
  • MOT expired 2020-10-09; vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Mileage shows suspiciously low usage (199 mi/yr equivalent) before Mar 2017.
  • Multiple recurring issues with headlamps and wipers, indicating poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present due to the severe MOT history issues.
