AI verdict BUY 80/100

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 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 10,831 miles. While it's a 17-year-old vehicle with low mileage, the recurring tyre advisories and past major suspension failure warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,145 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2018 and 2022, but no suspicious decreases or round numbers.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories across 7 tests (Sep 2021, Sep 2023, Sep 2024) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Major suspension failure (coil spring) in Sep 2022, though rectified, signals past structural neglect.
  • Brake pad wear advisory in Sep 2024 suggests upcoming brake maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Strong MOT record with 8 passes out of 10 tests, showing consistent maintenance.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, indicating a safe roadworthy vehicle.
  • Very low annual mileage (5,145 mi/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on components.
