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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 27,852 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low, and the vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, making it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jun 2017 (178 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Apr 2019 (396 mi/yr equivalent), indicating potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2023-10-12; vehicle is currently not road legal.
  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in Oct 2020 and Oct 2021, indicating severe neglect.
  • Major suspension failures in Oct 2021 and Oct 2022, showing a pattern of structural neglect.
  • Suspiciously low mileage before Jun 2017 (178 mi/yr) and Apr 2019 (396 mi/yr) suggests odometer fraud.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial repairs, indicating owner addressed issues.
  • The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures and advisories properly recorded.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is average for its era, not a significant positive.
