AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2009 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 13,451 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 17-year-old vehicle, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,361 miles/year, with a significant 4-year period (2019-2022) showing only 3,154 miles, indicating minimal use.

Things to check

  • Six major failures across 14 MOT tests (Jan 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Jan 2022, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
  • Nine recurring tyre advisories (Jan 2019, Feb 2021, Feb 2026) and seven major lighting failures (Jan 2019, Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Jan 2022, Feb 2023, Feb 2024, Feb 2025, Feb 2026).
  • Four major suspension failures (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Jan 2022, Feb 2023) and three major brake failures (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2023).
  • Three major emissions failures (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2023) and two major parking brake failures (Feb 2020, Feb 2021).

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until February 2027, indicating it is roadworthy at present.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing owners addressed issues promptly.
  • No recurring major structural failures like chassis corrosion or major engine issues are evident in the MOT history.
