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 20 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 21,773 miles. The mileage is suspiciously low for its age, and the vehicle's age itself presents significant wear and tear risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 5,388 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 42-mile increase between Feb 2019 and Feb 2020, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm worn out of shape (5.
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate tests (Feb 2019, Feb 2021, Mar 2023, Mar 2025).
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: suspension (4 times), ball joint (3 times), and brakes (10 advisories).
  • Major emissions failure on 2 separate occasions (Feb 2020, Feb 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Current valid MOT until March 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • No Cat N/S write-off markers on DVLA data.
  • Consistent retesting pattern shows immediate repairs after failures.
