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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 36,238 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, and the car's age presents significant wear and tear risks.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 295 miles in the first 3 years (Jan 2005 to Mar 2008), then a massive spike to 158,867 miles by Mar 2019.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2020-03-21, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.
  • Mileage shows only 295 miles in the first 3 years (Jan 2005 to Mar 2008), then a massive spike to 158,867 miles by Mar 2019.
  • The 2008-09-11 test failed on 'Offside Front front brake binding' and had a tyre advisory.
  • The 2009-09-23 test had advisories for both front tyres worn close to the legal limit.

Working in its favour

  • No recorded failures on the single MOT test in March 2019.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit suspicious, mileage history.
  • No recurring major system failures are evident from the MOT history.
  • The car has a single, recent MOT pass in March 2019.
