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 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 23,987 miles. While mileage is low for its age, the consistent need for repairs suggests ongoing maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,090 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Jan 2022 advisory, Jan 2023 major failure) and steering rack issues (Jan 2021 advisory, Jan 2023 major failure).
  • Persistent lighting system issues (Jul 2018 advisory, Jan 2021 advisory, Jan 2023 major failure).
  • Exhaust system advisories (Jul 2018, Jan 2021, Jan 2024) escalated to major failures (Jan 2021, Jan 2024).
  • Front brake disc worn advisory (Jul 2018) remains unresolved, indicating an ongoing safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,090 miles/year) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
  • All past failures and advisories were addressed and passed subsequent retests, indicating responsive ownership.
