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 23,984 miles. Recent advisories on tyres and brakes warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,019 miles/year, with a significant 17-year total of 183,024 miles, though recent years show consistent, lower annual mileage.

Things to check

  • High mileage for age (183,024 mi over 17 years) suggests heavy use.
  • Engine MIL advisory (Jan 2023) indicates potential underlying engine issues.
  • Rear Sub-frame corroded advisory (Jan 2023) is a structural concern for a 2009 vehicle.
  • Multiple suspension and brake failures (Jan 2023) suggest a history of wear and tear.

Working in its favour

  • All major failures (engine, lights, suspension, brakes) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent MOTs.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2018, showing no suspicious drops or round numbers.
  • No recurring major failures on the same system after initial repairs.
  • The vehicle has a long, consistent MOT history since its first test in 2018.
