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 9 MOT tests on record with a 56% pass rate and 38,274 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 23,326 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Four major MOT failures (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) for critical safety systems.
- Three recurring tyre advisories (2009, 2011) suggest chronic wear and maintenance neglect.
- High annual mileage (23,326 mi/yr) for a 20-year-old vehicle is a significant wear indicator.
- The vehicle is currently on SORN status, indicating it is not roadworthy for tax purposes.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit with a history of failures.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
- The 3.0L diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability.
