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 77% pass rate and 20,285 miles. While recent tests have passed, the vehicle's 21-year age and low mileage for its age present significant wear and tear concerns.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage increases, but a significant drop in usage from 6,000+ miles/year to under 2,000 miles/year occurred between 2023 and 2024, suggesting a change in driving habits or potential underlying issues.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (brake pipe) on 2020-10-20, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2019-2025) suggest chronic under-investment in critical safety components.
  • Major emissions failure on 2020-10-20, a critical safety system, points to poor maintenance.
  • Major engine/oil failure on 2020-10-20, a critical system, points to poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-03, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and retested successfully, showing responsive ownership.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed its retests after initial failures, demonstrating a fix-it approach.
