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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 34,213 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and consistent wear items warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 5,306 miles per year, with a significant 3-year gap in MOT history (2021-2022) and a 2-year period of very low mileage (2023-2024).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension advisories across 4 separate tests (e.g., shock absorber, suspension arm) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Recurring brake advisories across 2 separate tests (e.g., worn close to limit) suggest a pattern of maintenance needs.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 2 separate tests (e.g., worn close to limit, cracking) point to consistent wear.
  • A 3-year MOT gap (2021-2022) raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance and usage history.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • The 2016-05-30 retest PASS after the tyre failure shows immediate rectification.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,306 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
