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 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 33,886 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 33,886 miles over 21 years, averaging 9,672 miles/year, but a significant 1,997-mile increase between June 2014 and June 2015 is a red flag.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: lights (6 failures), suspension (2 failures), and tyres (2 failures).
  • Dangerous defect: Nearside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (May 2013) — a safety-critical failure.
  • Unexplained 1,997-mile increase: June 2014 (107,074 mi) to June 2015 (109,071 mi) — potential odometer fraud.
  • Vehicle is 21 years old with a 21-year-old engine — expect accumulated wear and high maintenance costs.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,672 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No recurring failures in the most recent MOT tests (June 2016 and May 2016), suggesting recent repairs.
  • The vehicle has a long service history with consistent MOT testing since its first registration.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
