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 30 June 2025 with 64,576 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the car has consistently maintained a clean record once the issues were addressed. The lack of advisories on the latest test suggests that the previous owner responded to identified faults promptly, and the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards for road use. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 56,436 miles and the June 2025 test at 64,576 miles, the car covered 8,140 miles. This low usage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and seals due to the vehicle standing stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and rear wheel arches, as these older Ford models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Given the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 that resulted in immediate passes, the buyer should verify the brake calipers for binding and inspect the suspension components for perished perished. Checking the age of the tyres is also essential, as low-mile vehicles often retain hardened rubber despite sufficient tread depth.
