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

This 2011 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 18,654 miles. While it has a clean recent pass, the underlying wear on critical components demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,928 miles per year, with a significant 2019 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings over its 15-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories and failures (2018, 2021, 2022) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Brake disc wear advisories (Nov 2018) and pad wear (Mar 2022) suggest significant upcoming maintenance.
  • Low annual mileage (5,928 mi/yr) for a 15-year-old vehicle raises concerns about long-term reliability.
  • 2019 service gap with only 6,189 miles recorded is a significant red flag for owner neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects, indicating the current owner has maintained it.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory suggests a single owner and regular use.
  • No major structural corrosion or chassis issues are evident from the MOT history.
