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 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 5,178 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage before April 2010 (39 mi/yr equivalent), followed by an unusually high jump to 13,997 mi/yr equivalent before May 2019, and then consistently low annual usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (Dec 2024) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Tyre has a bulge, caused by separation (Apr 2008) — severe structural failure.
  • Recurring major failures: Lights (5 failures), Suspension (2 failures), Windscreen (1 failure) — systemic neglect.
  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low usage before Apr 2010 (39 mi/yr), then high jump to 13,997 mi/yr (May 2019) — inconsistent patterns.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-07, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2019, despite initial anomalies.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
