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 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 30,552 miles. The 2012-2016 MOT absence, combined with a 2012 headlamp failure and persistent overheating issues, demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage (4,562 miles/yr), but a critical 3-year MOT history gap (Jul 2012–Feb 2016) means mileage during this period is unverified, raising fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • Critical 3-year MOT history gap: No test recorded for 3 years (Jul 2012–Feb 2016) — mileage unverified.
  • 2012-07-17 FAILED MOT: Nearside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (1.7.5a) — safety-critical electrical fault.
  • Recurring Engine Oil Advisory: Flagged in 4 separate MOT tests (Feb 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022) — persistent engine maintenance issue.
  • 2019-02-22 PASSED MOT: Recorded with an advisory for 'Engine Oil' — indicates ongoing maintenance needs.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-23: Offers peace of mind for over 3 years of roadworthiness.
  • Low mileage for age: 30,552 miles over 17 years suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No recurring major failures: Single 2012 headlamp failure was immediately rectified and passed.
  • Consistent annual mileage: Once the 2012-2016 gap is resolved, the car shows steady, low usage.
