AI verdict AVOID 29/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2005 Ford has 25 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 29,972 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, coupled with a DANGEROUS defect and numerous recurring issues, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before July 2023 (39 miles/year equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is highly unusual for a 2005 vehicle.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Offside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage fractured (5.3.3 (b) (ii))
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2024-07-19 for Nearside Rear Inner Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (Mar 2019, May 2021, Jun 2023) and suspension (May 2020, May 2021, Jun 2022).
- Consistent advisories for engine oil (flagged in 10 tests) and exhaust (flagged in 5 tests) across multiple years.
Working in its favour
- No failures or advisories for the last 2 years (Jul 2024, Jun 2025), indicating recent maintenance.
- Valid MOT until July 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2023, suggesting regular use after initial low period.
