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 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,254 miles. This, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle and a significant mileage anomaly, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows 64,071 miles at its most recent MOT in Oct 2011, which is significantly below the UK average of 100,633 miles for a 21-year-old vehicle, raising odometer fraud concerns.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with no expiry date (2012-10-31), making it illegal to drive.
- Mileage of 64,071 miles is 63% below average for its 21-year-old age, indicating potential odometer fraud.
- Two major failures for lights and tyres in Oct 2010, followed by a retest pass, suggest poor maintenance.
- The 1998–present overheating and 2.0 EcoBoost coolant issues are serious, unverified, and high-risk.
Working in its favour
- No recurring major failures on the same system after initial fixes.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating no immediate road safety concerns.
