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

This 2009 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 14,367 miles. The recurring exhaust and brake advisories also indicate potential ongoing maintenance needs.

The mileage trajectory shows normal annual usage until 2023, but a significant 51k-mile jump occurred between July 2019 (57,505 mi) and December 2023 (122,267 mi), which is highly irregular for a 2009 vehicle.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-12-30 (test 132560) — immediate safety concern.
  • Unusually high mileage jump: 51,973 mi/yr equivalent between 2019 and 2023.
  • Recurring exhaust advisories (2018) escalating to major failures (2025).
  • Recurring brake disc advisories (2025) following a DANGEROUS failure.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-12-30, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2023, suggesting regular use.
  • No recurring major structural failures or dangerous defects in the recent history.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
