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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 22,527 miles. While recent issues have been addressed, the repeated nature of these faults suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,755 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures: Nearside Front Coil Spring fractured (Aug 2022), and both front suspension arm bushes excessively worn (Aug 2022, 2023).
  • Recurring tyre advisories: Front tyres worn close to legal limit (Aug 2020), and multiple tyre damage advisories (Aug 2023).
  • Consistent low annual mileage: 5,755 miles/year over 17 years, suggesting limited use and potential for age-related component wear.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent low mileage: 5,755 miles/year, indicating light use and potential for better engine longevity.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
