AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Ford has 19 MOT tests on record with a 84% pass rate and 20,916 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The MOT history shows a 19-year-old vehicle with no verifiable mileage records, including a 19-year gap from 2007 to 2018, and a 5-year gap from 2018 to 2023, with no consistent readings.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 04 Sep 2024 — immediate safety concern.
  • Mileage anomalies: 19-year gap (2007–2018), 5-year gap (2018–2023), and suspicious jumps.
  • Recurring major failures: 6 light failures (Sep 2021–Sep 2025), 1 brake failure (Sep 2024).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 3/5 stars (2017) — below average for a 2007 model.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 08 Sep 2026 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes — owner addressed issues.
  • Consistent annual mileage (5,955 mi/yr average) — no sudden usage spikes.
  • No recent advisories on critical systems like brakes or suspension.
