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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 21,182 miles. The recurring pattern of suspension, anti-roll bar, and lighting issues, combined with a 17-year age and low mileage, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 7,571 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but a significant 14,600-mile increase between April 2019 and October 2020.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2023-10-30 MOT test.
  • Recurring suspension failures (4 major) and advisories (4 related) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring anti-roll bar link failures (3 times) and advisories (4 related) across multiple tests.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (2 times) and advisories (4 related) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent with UK average, no fraud detected.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-01, no immediate retesting required.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance.
  • No recurring dangerous defects in the last 3 years.
