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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 35,056 miles. The most recent MOT in October 2025 shows a dangerous tyre defect and a significant mileage anomaly, making this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 96,265 miles by Sep 2018, but only 148,042 miles by Oct 2025, indicating a 40-year gap in recorded usage or a severe data error.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2024-09-04, indicating immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring MAJOR failures in suspension (2025-09-05) and steering (2024-09-04) are severe.
  • Persistent MAJOR bodywork failure (2022-09-03) and subframe wear (2025-09-05) point to structural neglect.
  • The 40-year mileage gap (96k in 2018 vs 148k in 2025) is a critical data anomaly.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-19, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 1.2L Ford engine is known for its durability and reliability, a positive for this model.
  • The car has consistently passed its MOTs after initial failures, showing responsive repairs.
