AI verdict AVOID 44/100

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

This 2007 Ford has 27 MOT tests on record with a 63% pass rate and 30,597 miles. The vehicle's 19-year age, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating and a 1.56L diesel engine, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 6,434 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures in May 2020 and June 2022 indicate severe safety neglect.
  • Recurring MAJOR suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Jun 2023, Jun 2024) point to chronic structural issues.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2007 vehicle is below average for its era.
  • The 1.56L diesel engine is a known weak point for overheating and head gasket issues, as reported by owners.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,434 miles/year, showing no fraud.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • The vehicle has a consistent service history, with regular MOT tests and retests.
