AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2006 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 44,465 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent advisories on engine oil and brake discs warrant significant caution.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,931 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 2016 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • 2016 MOT gap suggests vehicle may have been off-road or neglected.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Sep 2009) and brake advisories (Oct 2010, Jan 2018) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Multiple suspension failures (Aug 2011, Jul 2012) and advisories (Aug 2011, Jul 2012) point to chronic structural wear.
  • Engine overheating and timing chain issues are common for this model, aligning with the 2017 failure.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,931 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
  • The 2017 MOT failure for overheating was immediately rectified, showing responsive ownership.
  • The 2018 MOT pass indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
