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

This 2006 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 15,897 miles. Proceed with caution.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,948 miles per year, with a significant 10-year gap (2006-2019) where only 69,206 miles were recorded.

Things to check

  • Vehicle is currently not valid for MOT, expiring 2021-03-28, indicating a significant lapse in roadworthiness checks.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,948 mi/yr) for a 20-year-old vehicle suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially harming mechanical components.
  • Multiple high-risk engine issues (overheating, head gasket, timing chain) are community-reported for this model, posing significant long-term reliability risks.
  • The 2019-2020 MOT history shows a 10-year gap in tests, which is highly unusual and warrants thorough investigation.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures or advisories on the same system across multiple MOT tests.
  • The single past MOT failure (Mar 2019) was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • The vehicle has consistently low mileage, suggesting light use and potentially lower wear on certain components.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the car has been maintained since the last test.
