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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 33,878 miles. The mileage trajectory is inconsistent, and there are significant unresolved issues from the community knowledge.
The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage (9,941 miles/yr) until 2022, but then a significant spike in 2025 (+16,928 miles) followed by a drop, indicating inconsistent driving patterns or potential odometer issues.
Things to check
- Multiple major failures in critical safety systems: lights (3 failures), suspension (2 failures), steering (2 failures), and brakes (1 failure).
- Recurring advisories for tyres (12 times) and exhaust (2 times) indicate chronic wear and neglect.
- Consistent pattern of failures in the same year (e.g., Jun 2023, Jun 2024, Jun 2025) suggests reactive, not proactive, maintenance.
- The 2015-11-11 MOT advisory for distorted bead rims and tyre splitting is a clear sign of poor maintenance history.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until June 2027, indicating it currently meets basic roadworthiness standards.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,941 miles/yr, which is slightly above the UK average of 8,000.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- The 2011 Ford 1.6L diesel engine is generally known for its durability and reliability.
