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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,354 miles. However, a pattern of suspension and brake issues, combined with a history of significant engine and timing component failures, raises significant concerns.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,071 miles per year, with a notable spike in usage from 2022 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Offside Front Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (Sep 2022 failure).
- Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint dust cover failed (Sep 2022 failure).
- Brake disc worn, pitted or scored (Aug 2020 advisory), indicating potential future brake work.
- Recurring suspension advisories (e.g., Sep 2022, Oct 2022) suggest ongoing wear and tear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,071 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOT (Sep 2025).
- Immediate retests after failures demonstrate prompt owner attention to safety issues.
