AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 20,887 miles. While there were some initial tyre and suspension issues, the car has been well-maintained and is a solid purchase.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual usage, averaging 6,194 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 20,887 miles recorded since July 2021.
Things to check
- Offside Front Tyre had ply exposed (DANGEROUS defect) on 2022-07-22, indicating a critical safety failure.
- Nearside Rear Coil spring corroded (ADVISORY) on 2022-07-22 and 2022-07-22, suggesting a structural component was monitored.
- Windscreen washer not working (ADVISORY) on 2022-07-22 and 2022-07-22, showing a minor but recurring electrical issue.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,194 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear on components.
- All previous MOT failures (tyres, washer, windscreen) were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
- The 2023-07-05 retest PASS after a 2024-08-01 FAIL demonstrates a quick and effective repair.
- No recurring major failures or dangerous defects in the most recent MOT history (2025-11-10).
