AI verdict CAUTION 60/100

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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 12,145 miles. The pattern of neglect and multiple unresolved advisories indicates substantial upcoming repair costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,900 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though recent annual usage has been very low.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures for lights (3 times) and suspension (1 time) across 9 MOT tests.
  • Persistent advisories for tyres (5 times), brakes (4 times), and body corrosion (6 times) since 2019.
  • Recent MOT (May 2025) still carries advisories for exhaust, sill, and indicator, indicating ongoing wear.
  • The 2009 Ford's 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating is below average for its era.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age, averaging 6,900 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
