AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2010 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 30,887 miles. The vehicle's age and mileage, combined with a history of overheating and timing chain issues, present significant long-term risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 11,259 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but shows a significant spike in recent years.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc advisories across 8 tests (Feb 2019–Feb 2024) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (Feb 2019–Feb 2024) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
  • Engine overheating and timing chain issues are documented in the community knowledge for this model.
  • The vehicle is currently Untaxed and has a Not Valid MOT status, requiring immediate attention.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent mileage trajectory over 16 years, averaging 11,259 miles/year, shows no fraud.
  • All 3 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day, demonstrating responsive ownership.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The 5.4L diesel engine is known for its durability and reliability, a positive for this model.
