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.
