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 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 15,161 miles. The recurring nature of these issues, combined with extremely low annual mileage, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,973 miles per year, with a significant 5-year period (2018-2022) showing only 1,092 miles and a 5-year period (2019-2023) showing only 2,221 miles.

Things to check

  • Extensive MOT failure history: 5 failures across 13 tests, including critical safety systems.
  • Recurring major failures: 6 major defects on lights, suspension, steering, emissions, and brakes.
  • Brake system deterioration: 8 advisories and 1 major failure for worn discs and pads.
  • Exhaust system issues: 5 advisories and 2 major failures for corrosion and emissions.

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT: Vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Jun 2025) passed after addressing previous failures.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: Mileage readings are consistent, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects are present in the MOT history.
