AI verdict AVOID 36/100

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 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 26,125 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2014 MOT failure for a serious shock absorber leak, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Feb 2015 (54 mi/yr equivalent), followed by very low annual usage (average 4,873 miles/yr) that is well below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • 19 recurring suspension advisories across 6 tests (Feb 2019–Feb 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
  • 5 recurring tyre advisories across 5 tests (Feb 2019–Feb 2024) point to consistent wear and poor maintenance.
  • 2014-09-24 FAILED MOT for a serious Nearside Rear Shock absorber fluid leak.
  • Extremely low mileage for a 2009 vehicle (26,125 miles over 17 years) suggests minimal use.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until 2027-02-20, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2014-09-25 retest PASS after the shock absorber failure shows immediate rectification.
  • No recent major failures or advisories in the last 2 years, suggesting some recent care.
