AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2007 Ford has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 21,774 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a history of dangerous defects and unexplained low usage, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 4,357 miles per year, with a significant 19-year gap from 2007 to 2024 where only 21,774 miles were recorded.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect recorded for 'Brakes: imbalanced across an axle by more than 50%' on 2025-07-01.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories across 5 tests (2020, 2022, 2023, 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (2020, 2022, 2023, 2025) suggest persistent under-investment in critical safety components.
  • Recurring subframe corrosion advisories across 3 tests (2020, 2022, 2025) point to significant structural degradation.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects since the 2025-07-01 retest.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2019, despite low overall total.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
