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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 7,889 miles. The vehicle's 15-year age and consistent low annual mileage also mean substantial wear is likely.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 7,675 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2020-2021 was immediately rectified.

Things to check

  • Jun 2025: Recent MOT failure for a shock absorber, a critical safety component, indicates immediate repair was needed.
  • Jun 2025: Recurring brake disc advisories (Jun 2021) suggest a long-standing wear issue that may require replacement soon.
  • Jun 2025: Recurring windscreen defects (Jun 2025) indicate a persistent issue that has not been fully resolved.
  • Jan 2011: Vehicle is 15 years old, meaning significant accumulated wear and potential age-related component degradation.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Jun 2025: Valid MOT until 2026-06-21, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Jan 2011: Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,675 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • Jun 2025: No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
