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 89% pass rate and 30,918 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension and steering failures, combined with recent advisories, indicates potential ongoing maintenance costs.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,389 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension and steering failures across multiple MOTs (e.g., Apr 2025, Mar 2024, Feb 2021).
- Recent advisories for tyres, engine oil, and CV boot (Apr 2026) suggest immediate maintenance needs.
- Dangerous tyre defects in Mar 2024 and Apr 2025, and a dangerous steering fault in Feb 2021.
- Major failure for suspension arm in Mar 2024, following an advisory in Feb 2021.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its 17-year age, suggesting regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests promptly.
