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 11 MOT tests on record with a 91% pass rate and 58,393 miles. The car's long history and numerous advisories, despite being fixed, suggest significant upcoming maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,787 miles/year, with a notable spike of 11,086 miles in 12 months (Jul 2015-Jul 2016) and 10,926 miles in 12 months (Aug 2017), but no suspicious drops.

Things to check

  • The vehicle has been off the road (SORN) since 2018, implying long periods of inactivity.
  • The 2014 failure for worn brake discs was followed by a pass, but the underlying issue recurred.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Strong MOT pass record with 10 out of 11 tests passing, showing general roadworthiness.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers, suggesting genuine usage.
