AI verdict AVOID 28/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 9,341 miles. The recurring suspension and steering advisories, combined with a 2024 service gap, present significant risks.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 24,097 miles by Jan 2019, then only 424 miles by Jan 2022, followed by a 10,017-mile jump to Jan 2025, and a further 10,320-mile jump to Jan 2026, indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-01-23, indicating severe neglect.
  • Mileage anomaly: 24,097 miles (Jan 2019) dropped to 424 miles (Jan 2022), then spiked to 10,017 miles (Jan 2025).
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jan 2019) escalated to MAJOR failures (Jan 2025).
  • Recurring steering rack advisories (Jan 2019) escalated to MAJOR failures (Jan 2025).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-23, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the 2026 MOT test.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like steering or suspension after the 2025 failures.
  • The vehicle has a consistent tax status and valid MOT.
