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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 34,283 miles. The history of overheating and timing chain issues from community reports further compounds its high-risk profile.
The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,587 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 1,786 miles between Nov 2022 and Nov 2023).
Things to check
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (2013, 2014) indicate ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- Very low annual mileage (5,587 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use and age-related issues.
- Community-reported high-risk issues (overheating, head gasket, timing chain) for this 2.0 EcoBoost variant are a major concern.
- Multiple major failures (suspension, lights) and consistent advisories for brakes and steering components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
- Consistent low mileage (34,283 mi) suggests light use and potential longevity of components.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current maintenance is being addressed.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
