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

This 2006 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 10,220 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and history of overheating issues present significant long-term risks.

The vehicle has extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,427 miles per year, with a significant 20-year gap from 2006 to 2025 showing only 10,220 miles recorded.

Things to check

  • Recurring major suspension failures (Oct 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2022) and numerous advisories indicate chronic neglect.
  • Engine/Oil major failure (Oct 2020) and 4 related advisories suggest a history of overheating and coolant issues.
  • Brake disc advisories (May 2019, Oct 2020, Oct 2020) are a recurring issue, indicating a need for immediate attention.
  • The 20-year gap in MOT history (2006–2025) with only 10,220 miles recorded is highly unusual and raises serious questions.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until October 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories were recorded in the last two tests (Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Oct 2025).
  • The car has consistently passed its retests after failures, showing that issues were addressed to achieve a pass.
