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

This 2006 Ford has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 15,409 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 20-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 15,409 miles recorded by 2008-11-27, and a significant drop in annual usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows 4 major failures and 14 recurring advisories, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Suspension and tyre advisories are recurring across multiple tests, pointing to systemic issues.
  • Extremely low mileage (15,409 miles in 20 years) for a 2006 vehicle is highly suspicious.
  • The 2019-2021 period shows suspiciously low annual mileage, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-09-14, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2019-01-14 retest PASS after a failure is a positive sign of prompt owner action.
  • The 2024-04-25 test shows a PASS after a failure, demonstrating the owner's ability to address issues.
