AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2010 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 8,745 miles. The vehicle's age and very low usage raise concerns about potential long-term neglect.
The vehicle shows very low usage, averaging 3,158 miles/year, with a significant anomaly: 31,609 miles in March 2019, then only 18,514 miles over the next 6 years (Jul 2025).
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 49,159 miles over 16 years (Jul 2025) — raises odometer fraud concerns.
- Recurring brake advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2021) indicate a pattern of wear, not isolated issues.
- Major suspension failure (coil spring, Jul 2024) followed by a retest pass suggests a reactive maintenance approach.
- Very low annual mileage (3,158 mi/yr) for a 16-year-old vehicle suggests long periods of inactivity, potentially leading to fluid degradation.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-27, indicating current roadworthiness and recent safety checks.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history, which is a positive sign for immediate safety.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious jumps or drops after the initial anomaly.
- No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension, only advisories.
