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

This 2011 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 30,553 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of recurring failures and advisories on critical safety systems makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jul 2022 (581 mi/yr equivalent), followed by normal usage, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2024-07-04 retest after failure.
  • DANGEROUS rear subframe corrosion advisory on 2021-07-01.
  • Recurring MAJOR brake failures and advisories across 2016-06-29 and 2024-07-04.
  • Recurring MAJOR suspension failures and advisories across 2016-06-29 and 2024-07-04.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-18, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2024-07-04 retest.
  • Consistent annual mileage post-2022, suggesting regular use.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
