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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 90,684 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and age, combined with the 'SORN' tax status and 'Not valid' MOT, indicate a higher-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,322 miles/year, with a significant drop in recent years (6,181 miles/year from 2019 to 2020), suggesting a change in usage or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • High mileage (168,634 miles) for a 2007 vehicle indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (10+ items) across 3 tests (Sep 2019, Sep 2020) point to ongoing structural neglect.
  • The Sep 2020 MOT advisory for 'Offside Front Lower Suspension arm damaged' is a critical safety concern.
  • The vehicle is currently on SORN (no tax paid) and has a 'Not valid' MOT status, requiring immediate re-registration and inspection.

Working in its favour

  • No major structural failures recorded in the MOT history, indicating the core chassis is sound.
  • Consistent annual mileage for its first 11 years (2018-2019) suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • The 2018 retest PASS after the initial failure shows the owner rectified the issue promptly.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded in the Sep 2020 test.
