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

This 2005 Ford has 19 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 16,883 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term reliability and safety risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging 2,824 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 153 miles recorded between July 2018 and June 2021, and a significant 8,884-mile jump before July 2024.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 57,970 miles over 21 years (2,824 mi/yr average).
  • Mileage anomaly: 153 miles recorded between Jul 2018 and Jun 2021, and 8,884-mile jump before Jul 2024.
  • Severe engine history: Community reports of overheating, head gasket failure, and timing chain issues align with this 2005 Ford.
  • Very low annual usage: 2,824 miles/year for a 21-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity, hard on mechanical components.

Working in its favour

  • No dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual MOT testing since 2008, showing regular inspections.
  • No recurring major failures on the same system across multiple tests.
