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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 79,444 miles. The vehicle's high usage and extensive wear advisories warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,857 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2022 onwards, suggesting a change in driving patterns or potential issues.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Jan 2019) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 4 tests (May 2024) point to ongoing wear.
  • Recurring steering rack advisories across 3 tests (May 2024) suggest persistent issues.
  • May 2024 MOT failure for corroded subframe and worn suspension components is a major concern.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects have been recorded on the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently been used, suggesting regular maintenance and no long periods of inactivity.
  • The 1.6L diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability, a positive for this model.
