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 27 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 9,976 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 21-year-old vehicle, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,300 miles/year, with a significant drop from 56,968 miles in July 2019 to 58,544 miles in July 2020, and further drops to 9,976 miles by July 2025.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre failure on 2022-07-19, immediately followed by a PASS.
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2022-07-19, immediately followed by a PASS.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2021, Jul 2022, Jul 2025) and failures (Jul 2020, Jul 2022) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring headlamp advisories (Jul 2021, Jul 2022) and failures (Jul 2022) suggest electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2026-08-02, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects were recorded in the latest tests (Jul 2025).
  • The car has consistently passed retests after initial failures, showing owners addressed issues promptly.
