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 24 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 17,431 miles.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,561 miles per year, with a significant 3-year period of very low mileage (Jan 2020: 78,262 mi to Jan 2023: 87,435 mi).
Things to check
- Major engine failure (Jan 2020) for nearside front engine mounting — critical for a 2005 Ford.
- Extensive recurring advisories on brakes (flagged 9 times) and suspension (flagged 5 times) across multiple tests.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,561 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle, suggesting minimal use.
- Recurring advisories on body corrosion (flagged 2 times) and exhaust (flagged 2 times) indicate ongoing wear.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until January 2027, providing significant peace of mind for the next three years.
- Consistent low mileage (4,561 mi/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on the vehicle.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard.
- The 2019 major engine failure was immediately rectified, demonstrating responsible ownership.
