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

This 2006 Ford has 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 71,676 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of past failures and current advisories indicates significant and ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 10,855 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant initial spike to 182,514 miles by Feb 2019.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (7 times) and suspension (5 times) across multiple tests.
  • Engine oil leaking excessively from engine (MAJOR failure, Oct 2024) — a serious and recurring issue.
  • Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (MAJOR failure, Oct 2024) — structural integrity concern.
  • Offside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (MAJOR failure, Oct 2024) — structural integrity concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
