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

This 2010 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 42,020 miles. While many issues were addressed, the sheer volume of past failures and current advisories warrants a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,202 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage over its 16-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures/advisories across 7 tests (Mar 2019, Apr 2022, Apr 2023, Jul 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures/advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023) point to structural neglect.
  • Recurring exhaust system failures/advisories across 6 tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023) suggest ongoing emissions issues.
  • Recurring brake disc failures/advisories across 5 tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023) highlight a history of brake maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 16 years, averaging 11,200 miles annually, shows no fraud.
  • All past failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day, indicating responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
