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 64% pass rate and 59,478 miles. The recurring issues with brakes, suspension, and lights, combined with a 22-year-old vehicle, make this a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage decrease is evident between Dec 2013 (107,108 mi) and Dec 2014 (99,144 mi), suggesting possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Dec 2013 (107,108 mi) and Dec 2014 (99,144 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased by 7,964 miles between Dec 2013 (107,108 mi) and Dec 2014 (99,144 mi).
  • MOT expired 2021-08-26; no valid MOT certificate is currently in force.
  • Recurring failures in brakes (2019, 2020), suspension (2019, 2020), and lights (2018, 2019).

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,812 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple years, indicating isolated issues.
  • The vehicle has a consistent service history, with regular maintenance intervals.
  • No recent MOT failures, suggesting the owner has addressed immediate issues.
