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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 40,808 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests significant upcoming maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 9,881 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent low-mileage period (89 miles in 2018) is normal for a 17-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear (Mar 2016 advisory, Mar 2017 fail, Mar 2018 fail) signals chronic maintenance needs.
  • Persistent suspension arm issues (Mar 2016 advisory, Mar 2018 fail) indicate ongoing structural wear.
  • Multiple tyre failures and advisories (Mar 2013 advisory, Mar 2015 fail, Mar 2017 fail) point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT, requiring immediate attention to roadworthiness.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,881 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering throughout its 17-year history.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and retested, showing a responsive owner.
