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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 73,059 miles. The recent MOT expiry and untaxed status require immediate verification.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,490 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2014 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • 2014 MOT gap — vehicle was off-road or SORN, raising maintenance concerns.
  • Euro NCAP 3/5 stars — below-average safety rating for a 2006 diesel.
  • Not ULEZ-compliant — significant future running costs in London.
  • Community-reported high-risk engine faults (head gasket, overheating, timing chain) — critical for a 20-year-old diesel.

Working in its favour

  • 7 of 8 MOT tests passed with no dangerous defects recorded.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,490 miles/year, no fraud indicators.
  • Single tyre failure in 2011 was immediately rectified and passed retest.
  • No recurring major system failures (brakes, suspension, emissions) in recent history.
