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

This 2007 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 94% pass rate and 61,607 miles. The history of overheating and timing chain issues for this model is a significant concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,061 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has decreased significantly since 2020.

Things to check

  • Major failure: Steering — Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play (Nov 2022 advisory, escalated to major failure Nov 2025).
  • High-risk model: Known owner-reported faults for overheating, 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration, head gasket, and timing chain issues.
  • Recent failure: Steering failure on 2025-11-10, immediately retested and passed, but indicates ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-10, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage: 8,061 miles/year average, no fraud indicators.
  • Immediate retest: Steering failure on 2025-11-10 was immediately rectified and passed.
  • No major structural corrosion: MOT history shows no recurring major chassis issues.
