Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 with 29,671 miles. While the car failed a test just one day prior due to a minor electrical fault with the offside rear fog lamp and a loose housing, these were rectified immediately. Beyond this recent minor bulb-related failure, the history shows a consistent pattern of passing without significant mechanical or structural defects, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained despite periods of low use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,473 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, moving from 8,437 miles in 2017 to 29,671 miles in 2025. This low annual mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation. The record record confirms this through the 2021 and 2023 advisories regarding tyre cracking and perishing across multiple wheels, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods rather than being driven. A buyer should focus their inspection on rubber-based components that degrade over time regardless of distance. The recurring advisories for cracked tyre sidewalls and perished rubber suggest that the current tyres should be checked for dry rot, and the suspension bushes and engine mounts should be inspected for similar cracking. Additionally, the repeated mention of a deteriorated rear registration plate indicates a purely cosmetic maintenance oversight. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brakerelated in the record, which suggests the primary integrity of the vehicle remains intact.
