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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 48,854 miles. The vehicle's mileage trajectory is also highly suspicious, showing no movement for over 4 years.
The vehicle shows no mileage progression from Mar 2013 (101,577 mi) to Apr 2014 (118,827 mi), a critical 4-year period with no recorded activity.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: No progression recorded between Mar 2013 (101,577 mi) and Apr 2014 (118,827 mi).
- Recurring failures: 5 major failures across brakes, tyres, lights, and windscreen.
- Recurring advisories: 10+ advisories on tyres, shock absorbers, brake hoses, and anti-roll bar links.
- Dangerous defects: Multiple DANGEROUS-rated brake failures (e.g., 'little or no effort' on Mar 2013).
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage: 11,580 miles/year average, well above UK average of 8,000.
- No recent MOT failures: The last MOT failure was in Apr 2017, with a subsequent pass.
- Immediate retests: All 5 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
- No odometer fraud: Mileage readings are consistent, though the 4-year gap is a major concern.
