AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 93% pass rate and 19,617 miles. However, a significant mileage anomaly and a history of severe engine issues (head gasket, timing chain) are major concerns.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 3,029 miles/year, with a critical anomaly of only 1,180 miles added between Jan 2019 and Jan 2021.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 48,630 miles over 16 years (typical: 100,633 miles).
- Mileage anomaly: Only 1,180 miles added between Jan 2019 and Jan 2021 (Dec 2019: 32,388 mi, Jan 2021: 33,568 mi).
- Severe engine history: Community reports list head gasket, timing chain, and overheating issues (not verified by MOT).
Working in its favour
- Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for two years.
- Consistent low mileage: Very low annual mileage (3,029 miles/year) indicates light use.
- No recurring major failures: Single failure in 2019 was immediately rectified and has not recurred.
