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

This 2011 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 16,995 miles. The 15-year age and numerous owner-reported faults for the 5.4L engine variant present significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,693 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Jun 2021) escalated to a DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2023), indicating chronic wear.
  • Offside Rear Tyre had ply/cords exposed (Jan 2022), a dangerous defect that was only advisory in the prior test.
  • Sill corrosion advisories (Jan 2023, Jan 2024) suggest a structural weakness common in older Fords.
  • Multiple owner-reported faults for the 5.4L engine variant (head gasket, overheating, timing chain) are a major long-term risk.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,693 mi/yr) suggests light use and less mechanical stress.
  • No dangerous defects recorded on the most recent MOT (Jan 2026), indicating current roadworthiness.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until January 2027, providing peace of mind for the next year.
  • The 1.56L diesel engine is generally known for its durability and fuel efficiency.
