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

This 2007 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 17,977 miles. The vehicle's history of overheating and timing chain issues, as reported by the community, also warrants careful inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,658 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (3,126 miles in 3 years), raising questions about its maintenance and true condition.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,658 miles/yr) for a 19-year-old vehicle.
  • Significant 4-year MOT gap from 2019 to 2023 (Dec 2020 to Feb 2023).
  • Community-reported high-risk issues: overheating, head gasket, timing chain, and window regulator.
  • Failed MOT on 2010-04-29 for excessive smoke from turbocharged engine.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT pass record with no failures recorded since 2010.
  • No dangerous defects or major recurring failures found in the MOT history.
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops.
