AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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 68% pass rate and 58,512 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with severe structural and safety issues, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

A critical 15-year mileage anomaly exists: 111,242 miles recorded on 2014-05-06, but only 42,087 miles on 2014-10-14, indicating possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2014 (111,242 mi) and Oct 2014 (42,087 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres failed on 2019-10-14, then again on 2021-11-01, showing a pattern of neglect.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Emissions failed on 2025-01-01, a critical safety and environmental concern.
  • Recurring major failures: Suspension arm (6 tests), tyre (5 tests), exhaust (5 tests), and subframe (5 tests) show systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-14, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories on the most recent test (May 2026).
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2014, despite the earlier anomaly.
  • No outstanding recalls or dangerous defects on the latest MOT test.
