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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 19,724 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the pattern of issues suggests potential underlying neglect.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,455 miles/year, but a significant drop in annual mileage from 2019 to 2022 (from ~14k to ~2k miles/year) is a red flag for potential periods of inactivity or storage.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: brakes (Apr 2022, Aug 2022) and suspension (Aug 2023, Jul 2025).
- Persistent lighting issues: 3 major failures (Apr 2019, Apr 2021, Aug 2022) and 2 advisories (Apr 2021, Apr 2022).
- Unexplained mileage drop: Annual usage fell from ~14k miles/year (2019-2021) to ~2k miles/year (2022), indicating potential neglect.
- Recent suspension failure (Jul 2025): Offside Rear Coil spring fractured or broken, a recurring issue.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-11: Offers immediate peace of mind and roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory: No evidence of odometer fraud or suspiciously round numbers.
- Immediate retest passes: All 4 failures were promptly rectified, indicating responsive ownership.
