AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 31,591 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 17-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 5,360 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 to 2022 (e.g., 68,928 mi in Feb 2021, then 70,325 mi in Feb 2022).
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush likely to become detached broken
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Mar 2025 MOT).
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Mar 2025 MOT).
- Recurring Suspension failures: 4 major failures and 4 related advisories across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories on the most recent test (Mar 2026).
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for this specific registration).
