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

This 2010 Ford has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,559 miles. The vehicle's age and low mileage make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing only 17,559 miles over 16 years, with significant drops in usage (e.g., 44,487 mi to 44,798 mi in 2021, then 45,052 mi to 45,257 mi in 2023).

Things to check

  • Mileage is critically low at 17,559 miles over 16 years, indicating potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (Jun 2021, Mar 2025) and brakes (Apr 2019, Jul 2020) suggest chronic neglect.
  • The same coil spring advisory appeared in 3 separate tests (Jun 2021, Mar 2025, Apr 2026), indicating a persistent and unresolved issue.
  • Engine overheating and coolant migration issues are documented in the community knowledge for this model, posing a significant risk.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last 12 months, suggesting some recent maintenance.
  • The car has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2013.
  • The 1.2L petrol engine is generally known for its durability and reliability.
