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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 31,854 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent significant defects warrants a thorough investigation.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,221 miles/year, with a notable drop in recent years (e.g., 4,074 miles in 2023, 3,187 miles in 2026).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2022-02-07 (Offside Rear Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge).
  • MAJOR ENGINE/OIL failure on 2026-05-01 (Engine/Oil: 5.3.2 (a) (i)) — a critical safety system.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Feb 2021, Feb 2022, Feb 2022) escalating to dangerous failure.
  • Recurring windscreen defects (6 minor defects across 2015–2026), indicating a chronic issue.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,221 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-02-07, despite the recent major failure.
  • No recurring brake failures or major structural corrosion issues identified.
