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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,848 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating and numerous owner-reported faults, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 6,994 miles/year, with a significant drop from 98,809 miles in Sep 2019 to 101,217 miles in Sep 2020, indicating inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2019-09-19, indicating severe neglect.
  • Six major failures across 14 MOT tests, including suspension and lights, show systemic neglect.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (11 times) and suspension (2 times) point to chronic wear issues.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2009 Ford is below average for its era.

Working in its favour

  • MOT valid until 2026-09-30, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Engine durability and reliability of 5.4L engine variant is a positive for this model.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last two tests (Sep 2024, Sep 2025).
