AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 29 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 29,479 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety systems like brakes, suspension, and emissions, combined with unresolved dangerous defects and a complete lack of valid MOT, makes this vehicle an unacceptable risk.

The vehicle shows a critical 20-year period of suspiciously low mileage (102 mi/yr equivalent) from 2006 to 2024, followed by a return to normal usage, indicating a significant data anomaly or potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT not valid as of April 2025, with expiry 2026-04-06 — no current roadworthiness.
  • 8 major failures across critical systems (brakes, suspension, emissions) from 2019–2025.
  • 4 DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2025.
  • 7 major failures for brakes from 2019–2025, with 16 related advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 12 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle.
