AI verdict AVOID 45/100

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 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 65,936 miles. The mileage anomaly and recurring tyre advisories further compound the risks.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 2011 to 2016, with only 261 miles recorded between Dec 2011 and Jan 2016, indicating a major discrepancy.

Things to check

  • Five test failures recorded across 13 MOTs, indicating persistent mechanical issues.
  • Seven major brake failures and no related advisories suggest a systemic, unresolved problem.
  • Mileage anomaly: only 261 miles recorded between Dec 2011 and Jan 2016 is highly suspicious.
  • Recurring tyre advisories (4 entries) across 2 separate tests point to ongoing wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle.
