AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2007 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 12,096 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and repeated issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 4,258 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is a 19-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across 7 tests (Oct 2019–Oct 2025).
  • Persistent overheating issues and coolant migration to cylinders (community-reported high-risk).
  • Multiple recurring advisories on the same components (e.g., subframe, steering rack).
  • Low annual mileage (4,258 mi/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests light use.
  • No recent major failures or advisories from the last MOT.
