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

This 2011 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 20,491 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with a listed expiry date of 2026-04-07, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,210 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has varied significantly over its 15-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Major Engine/Oil failure recorded on 2021-03-01 (MOT 78,597 mi) — a serious defect.
  • Recurring Tyre failures: Nearside Rear Tyre (Oct 2018), Offside Rear Tyre (Oct 2018), Nearside Front Drive shaft boot (Oct 2018) — indicates systemic neglect.
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with a listed expiry date of 2026-04-07 — a critical and unexplained discrepancy.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (e.g., 2,390 miles in 2023–2024) suggests periods of inactivity or minimal use.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
  • No recurring major structural failures (e.g., suspension, steering) beyond the engine.
  • Most recent MOT pass (Apr 2025) indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
