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 71% pass rate and 38,022 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring issues and high mileage for its age warrants careful consideration.

The vehicle shows a significant mileage discrepancy: 38,022 miles by April 2019, then only 7,753 miles in the next 2 years, and 20,067 miles in the subsequent 2 years, indicating inconsistent usage.

Things to check

  • Mileage trajectory is highly inconsistent, with 38,022 miles by April 2019, then only 7,753 miles in the next 2 years.
  • Repeated tyre failures and advisories across multiple tests (Jul 2020, Aug 2021, Aug 2022) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Lighting failures and advisories (Apr 2019, May 2024) suggest a pattern of electrical and safety system issues.
  • The vehicle has been Untaxed since the last MOT, which is a significant concern for a 17-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, albeit expired, MOT certificate, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are noted in the MOT history.
  • The car has a consistent service history, with all previous failures and advisories being promptly addressed.
