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 62% pass rate and 30,544 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of neglect and high mileage jump warrant extreme caution.

The mileage trajectory shows a normal average of 7,163 miles/year until Oct 2022, but then a significant jump to 22,447 miles in just 12 months, indicating a potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage.

Things to check

  • Oct 2022: Unusually high mileage jump (21,675 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2022, a major red flag for odometer integrity.
  • Dec 2018: Recurring steering failures (Offside Front Drag link end ball joint, Track rod end ball joint) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Dec 2019: Lower Engine mounting damaged advisory, a sign of poor underbody maintenance.
  • Oct 2022: High mileage jump (21,675 mi/yr equivalent) suggests potential odometer fraud or a major change in usage.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage before Oct 2022, suggesting regular use.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural corrosion or brake system failures recorded.
  • Relatively low mileage for its age, potentially less wear on some components.
