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 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 41,165 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and immediate retest failures makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,388 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the MOT history reveals significant underlying issues.
