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 19 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 20,238 miles. The vehicle's long history of overheating and timing chain issues, as reported by owners, further compounds the risk.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (427 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2011 and again (175 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2011, indicating periods of prolonged inactivity.

Things to check

  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Feb 2011 (427 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Oct 2011 (175 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring suspension advisories (Sep 2020, Sep 2024) and failures (Sep 2024).
  • Recurring brake advisories (Sep 2024, Sep 2025) and failures (Sep 2024).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2011, averaging 6,061 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in recent tests.
