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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 20,019 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,726 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, showing normal usage for its age.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (Nov 2008, Aug 2011) and brakes (Aug 2013, Aug 2014) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple advisories for suspension components (Aug 2015, Aug 2017) and subframe corrosion (Aug 2017) are high concern.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN since 2018, suggesting it has not been used or maintained for years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (8,726 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 8,726 miles per year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies across all MOT tests.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, usage history over its 21-year lifespan.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the car is currently roadworthy.
