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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 17,944 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year-old MOT, suggests a need for thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 17,944 miles over 17 years, averaging 7,385 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving habits.

Things to check

  • Recurring steering advisories across 5 separate tests (2012, 2013, 2014, 2019, 2023) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 2 separate tests (2019, 2023) point to consistent component wear.
  • The MOT expired on 2024-09-28, meaning the vehicle is currently not road legal and requires immediate re-MOT.
  • The 2014-08-20 test shows a failed MOT for an incorrect colour nearside rear direction indicator, though it was immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No MOT failures recorded across 6 tests, demonstrating a generally well-maintained vehicle.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,385 miles/year, indicating normal and predictable usage.
  • The 2012-03-20 test noted a minor windscreen defect, which was the only minor recorded defect.
