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 12 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,896 miles. While mileage is consistent, recurring suspension and exhaust advisories, combined with a 20-year MOT gap, present significant risks.
Mileage is consistent at 10,208 miles/year, with no anomalies, but a 20-year MOT gap from 2006 to 2009 is highly unusual.
Things to check
- MOT not valid since 2017-09-28, a 20-year gap from registration.
- Three major failures (exhaust, suspension, brakes) across 12 tests.
- Recurring exhaust and suspension advisories (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016).
- Consistent low annual mileage (10,208 mi/yr) for a 20-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, normal annual mileage of 10,208 miles/year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
- All 3 major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) indicates acceptable safety standards.
