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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 27,698 miles. The most recent MOT in Sep 2025 carries an advisory for the steering rack, a critical safety system.

The mileage trajectory is generally consistent, averaging 7,623 miles/year, but a critical 8,798-mile discrepancy occurred between the Sep 2024 retest pair, indicating a potential odometer anomaly.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories (6 flags) across 3 tests (2022, 2023, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring steering advisories (2 flags) in 2022 and 2025 point to ongoing component stress.
  • Sep 2025 MOT carries an advisory for the steering rack, a critical safety component.
  • A 8,798-mile discrepancy between Sep 2024 retest pair (110,849 mi vs 119,647 mi) suggests an odometer anomaly.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-09, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,623 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects on the latest MOT.
  • The 1.6L engine is known for its durability and reliability.
