AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2014 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 20,484 miles. The recurring suspension and brake advisories, combined with the severe underlying engine problems, make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows very low annual mileage averaging 5,050 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year, and a significant drop in usage from 2021 onwards.
Things to check
- Turbo failure and head gasket issues are persistent and unaddressed for 12+ years (2014–present).
- Major suspension failures (Feb 2019, Feb 2022, Feb 2023) and recurring advisories (Mar 2026) indicate ongoing structural neglect.
- Recurring brake disc wear advisories (Feb 2019, Feb 2022, Apr 2024) and tyre wear (Feb 2019, Feb 2022) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.
- The 2017-02-15 FAILED MOT for headlamp aim, followed by a PASSED MOT the same day, is highly irregular and raises serious questions about the vehicle's history.
Working in its favour
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-04-07, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects have been recorded since the 2017 headlamp issue.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory suggests a single owner or careful use.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers is present in the provided data.
