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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 5,396 miles. While recent failures were rectified, the mileage anomaly raises serious concerns about its true condition and usage.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,142 miles/year, with a significant drop to 97 miles/year between 2014 and 2024, and a recent spike to 2,807 miles in 2025.

Things to check

  • Mileage is extremely low at 1,142 mi/yr average, with a 97 mi/yr drop between 2014 and 2024.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 7 tests (Aug 2020, Sep 2021, Aug 2022, Sep 2023, Sep 2024, Sep 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 3 tests (Sep 2019, Aug 2020, Sep 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Two failures with no defect details (Aug 2020, Sep 2025) are a significant red flag for unaddressed issues.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-09-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • Recent failures (Aug 2020, Sep 2025) were immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2019, despite low overall numbers.
