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 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,503 miles. The pattern of neglect and safety-critical issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,851 miles per year, with a significant 7-year period (2018-2021) showing only 700-1,463 miles per year.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2025): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre failure (Sep 2023) and brake failure (Sep 2023) indicate severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Dec 2019, Oct 2024) and coil spring advisories (Dec 2018, Oct 2024) point to chronic structural issues.
  • Offside Front Suspension arm corroded advisory (Oct 2024) is a high concern for future safety.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed.
