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

This 2006 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 11,797 miles. The vehicle's history of overheating and timing chain issues is also a major red flag for a 20-year-old car.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging 3,226 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings of 53 miles/year before Nov 2023 and 124 miles/year before Feb 2025, indicating periods of prolonged inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage: 3,226 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings of 53 miles/year before Nov 2023 and 124 miles/year before Feb 2025.
  • Recurring advisories on critical systems: exhaust (3 tests), tyres (2 tests), and brake hose (2 tests) indicate ongoing wear and potential neglect.
  • Community-reported high-risk faults: overheating, 2.0 EcoBoost coolant migration, head gasket, timing chain, and window regulator issues are severe for a 20-year-old vehicle.
  • One MOT failure on 2011-08-22 for an incomplete offside front coil spring, though immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-24, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
  • No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history, suggesting no immediate safety hazards.
  • The 2011-08-22 failure for an incomplete coil spring was immediately rectified, showing prompt owner action.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2023, despite being very low, suggesting no odometer fraud.
