AI verdict AVOID 52/100
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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 17,847 miles. The single MOT failure in 2012 for a headlamp and brake issue, combined with recurring advisories for tyres, suspension, and brakes, indicates a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows only 17,847 miles over 17 years, averaging 3,136 miles/year, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year and raises a high-confidence mileage anomaly.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 17,847 miles over 17 years (Jan 2009–Jan 2026) — extremely low for age.
- Single MOT failure: 2012-11-02 for headlamp aim and brake pads — indicates past neglect.
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (10 advisories), Suspension (7 advisories), and Brakes (3 advisories) — consistent wear patterns.
- High-concern advisories: 2025-01-08 (Jan 2025) — brake pad, disc, exhaust, and system advisories.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-08 — no immediate retest required.
- No recent MOT failures — the 2012 failure was rectified.
- Consistent annual mileage increases — no sudden spikes or drops.
- No dangerous defects recorded — all failures were minor to major.
