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 43,639 miles. While it has a long service history, the pattern of neglect is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,956 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 7-mile increase between June 2022 and December 2023.

Things to check

  • Major suspension failure on 2024-12-04, with recurring advisories since 2021.
  • Major tyre failure on 2022-06-30, with recurring advisories since 2021.
  • Dangerous electrical failure on 2008-11-05, a serious safety concern.
  • Recurring brake hose advisories across 4 separate tests (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Long service history with consistent maintenance, evident from 17 prior advisories being resolved.
  • No recent MOT failures, with the last failure being in December 2024.
  • Consistent mileage readings with no signs of tampering or rollbacks.
  • Immediate retests after failures, indicating prompt owner action to rectify issues.
