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 69% pass rate and 37,079 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,377 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the vehicle is 21 years old.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm failures (Mar 2012 advisory, Mar 2016 fail) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc wear (Mar 2010 advisory, Mar 2011 advisory) points to a long-standing issue.
  • Recurring tyre wear (Mar 2010 advisory, Mar 2011 advisory) suggests a pattern of poor maintenance.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures (Mar 2014 advisory, Mar 2016 fail) highlight electrical issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 9,377 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from March 2016, indicating it was roadworthy at that time.
