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 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 15,746 miles. The history of overheating and timing chain issues in the Ford 1.2L engine variant is a significant concern for this model.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,644 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (Oct 2024) and brakes (Oct 2024) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
  • The 1.2L Ford engine is prone to overheating and timing chain issues, which are critical for this model.
  • The 2014-10-06 MOT advisory for worn tyres and brakes, though resolved, indicates a pattern of wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-07, offering immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,644 mi/yr) suggests light use and less mechanical stress.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
