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 75% pass rate and 12,052 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 15-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,086 miles/year, but a significant 10-year gap in MOT tests (2014-2016) is a major red flag for unexplained history.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY GAPS: No MOT tests recorded between April 2014 and April 2016, a 2-year period.
  • MAJOR SUSPENSION FAILURES: Four major suspension failures (coil springs, shock absorbers) across 11 tests.
  • RECURRING ADVISORIES: Ten advisories for suspension, brakes, and tyres across multiple tests.
  • BRAKE SYSTEM REPEATED ISSUES: Two major brake failures and eight related advisories.

Working in its favour

  • MOT VALID UNTIL 2026-11-30: Provides immediate peace of mind for the next two years.
  • MILEAGE CONSISTENCY: Normal annual usage of 7,086 miles/year, no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • NO ODOMETER FRAUD: Mileage readings are consistent and show no signs of tampering.
  • ALL MAJOR DEFECTS RESOLVED: All 4 major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
