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 7 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 26,337 miles. The car's low annual usage and recent very low mileage readings are a significant concern.
The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage until 2023, but a critical drop to 1,719 miles/year between 2023 and 2024, followed by a drastic 281-mile increase in 2025, indicating a major discrepancy.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: 1,719 miles recorded between Aug 2023 and Dec 2024, then 281 miles in 2025 — highly suspicious.
- Low annual mileage: Average of 4,445 miles/year is significantly below UK average, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT pass record: 7 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects recorded.
- No structural or mechanical failures: All MOT tests show no major safety-critical system failures.
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-09: Offers peace of mind for the next two years of road use.
