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

This 2006 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 55,210 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with unexplained jumps and a long period of very low usage.

The mileage shows a 68,746 mi/yr jump before Aug 2011, followed by a 41 mi/yr equivalent for 3 years (Aug 2011–Aug 2014), and then a return to higher usage.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows a 3-year gap (Aug 2011–Aug 2014) with unverified mileage.
  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (2018, 2019).
  • Unusually high mileage jump before Aug 2011 (68,746 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Unusually low mileage recorded before Dec 2017 (

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories from the last test (Dec 2019).
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expiring in 2020.
  • No immediate MOT-related repairs are required based on the latest test.
