AI verdict AVOID 37/100

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 20,834 miles. The recurring tyre and lighting failures, combined with a 3-year gap in MOT records, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows only 20,834 miles over 16 years, which is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • Mileage of 20,834 miles over 16 years is a clear red flag for potential odometer fraud.
  • Four MOT failures in 12 tests, with recurring tyre and lighting issues, indicates poor maintenance.
  • A 3-year MOT history gap (2017–2020) is highly unusual and raises serious questions about the vehicle's past.
  • The 2010 Ford is a 1.6L diesel, not a 5.4L petrol, contradicting the model-specific strengths listed in the prompt.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues as they arise.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases, despite being very low, show regular use and not long periods of inactivity.
