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 29 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 37,183 miles. The mileage is extremely low for its age, and the vehicle has a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,661 miles per year, averaging only 37,183 miles over 21 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2005 car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect on 2019-06-05 (test 7) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring major corrosion on nearside rear sill (7 advisories, 3 major failures) — structural integrity concern.
  • Persistent brake system issues (19 advisories, 3 major failures) — chronic wear and safety concern.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,661 miles/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle — age-related wear and potential for unknown history.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-29, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures and advisories.
  • No recurring failures of the same system on the same axle.
