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 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 21,489 miles. While it has passed most tests, the repeated advisories and failures point to significant ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,698 miles per year, with a significant drop in recent years (822 miles in 2024-2025).

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Aug 2022) escalated to DANGEROUS failure (Aug 2023).
  • Exhaust leak advisory (Aug 2023) escalated to MAJOR failure (Aug 2024).
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,698 mi/yr) suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Multiple recurring advisories on steering, suspension, and brakes indicate systemic wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
