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 69% pass rate and 25,255 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems demands thorough investigation.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,244 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards (e.g., 1,264 miles between March 2019 and November 2019).

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded on 2019-11-20 and 2021-11-18, indicating critical safety neglect.
  • Persistent suspension advisories from 2019-11-20 through 2023-11-05, suggesting chronic wear.
  • Major failure for Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) on 2015-03-19, a critical safety system.
  • MOT expired 2024-11-05; vehicle is currently untaxed and without a valid MOT certificate.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,244 miles/yr) suggests light use and less engine wear.
  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 3 years, indicating some issues were addressed.
  • The vehicle has a long history of MOT tests, providing a comprehensive record of its condition.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
