AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Ford has 23 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 7,208 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 20-year-old vehicle, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 5,197 miles per year, with a significant anomaly of only 354 miles recorded between 2006 and 2012.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage (7,208 mi over 20 years) for a 2006 Ford is a major red flag.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (Mar 2020, Feb 2021), suspension (Mar 2020, Feb 2021), and exhaust (Mar 2020, Feb 2021).
- Consistent advisories for lights (Feb 2019, Mar 2020) and tyres (Jan 2023, Jan 2024) across multiple tests.
- Engine overheating and coolant issues are documented in community reports, posing significant long-term risks.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until January 2027, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
- The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing owners addressed issues promptly.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories for the last 12 months, suggesting current roadworthiness.
