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 5 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 38,072 miles. The single 2011 failure for multiple suspension and brake issues, combined with a 2013-2014 mileage drop, makes this vehicle an unacceptable risk.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop from 49,414 miles in Nov 2011 to 53,107 miles in Feb 2013, and then only 5,661 miles to Feb 2014, indicating a high risk of odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 58,768 miles over 19 years (typical: 100,633 miles, n=240 FORDs).
- Critical 2012 MOT gap: No MOT recorded between Nov 2011 and Feb 2013, a major red flag for unexplained history.
- 2014 mileage anomaly: 58,768 miles in Feb 2014 is 10% of UK average, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.
- Single 2011 failure: Multiple suspension and brake defects (anti-roll bar, CV joint, brake hose) on 2011-11-15 test.
Working in its favour
- No recurring failures: The 2011 failure for suspension and brakes was immediately rectified and has not recurred.
- Consistent annual usage: Average 8,202 miles/year aligns with typical UK vehicle use, not excessive.
- No recent MOT failures: The last MOT was in 2014, meaning no recent test failures or advisories.
- Relatively low mileage: 58,768 miles for a 19-year-old vehicle is a positive for wear and tear.
