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

This 2005 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 31,426 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past issues warrant a thorough inspection.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,612 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a significant 2010 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Major brake failure in Dec 2008, followed by recurring advisories (Mar 2012, Mar 2013, Mar 2014).
  • Major lights failure in Dec 2008, with related advisories in 2012 and 2013.
  • Offside Rear Shock absorber serious fluid leak (Dec 2008 failure) — a structural safety concern.
  • 2010 service gap — no MOT recorded, suggesting potential off-road use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,612 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • All 3 MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
  • No recurring major structural failures (suspension, steering, engine) in recent years.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2018, despite current SORN status.
