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

This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 34,355 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated advisories and failures suggest a need for thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,161 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures and advisories across multiple tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2020, Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2023).
  • Recurring brake disc wear advisories on both front wheels (Mar 2019, Apr 2019, Mar 2020).
  • Recurring steering advisories on both front wheels (Mar 2020, Mar 2023).
  • Windscreen damage noted in 3 separate tests (Mar 2019, Mar 2020, Mar 2020).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,161 miles/year) suggests light, careful use.
  • All past failures and major defects were promptly rectified and passed on retest.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
