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 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 17,679 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the repeated advisories for critical wear items suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
The mileage trajectory shows a normal average of 6,500 miles/year until 2022, but a significant jump to 20,517 miles in just 8 months (Jun 2022) is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
Things to check
- Unusually high mileage jump of 20,517 miles in 8 months (Jun 2022) — potential odometer fraud.
- Recurring suspension failures (coil springs, ball joint) in Jul 2021 and Apr 2024 indicate structural neglect.
- Recurring tyre advisories across 11 tests (Jul 2021, Apr 2024, Apr 2025) suggest chronic wear.
- Supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp fault in Apr 2024 requires careful investigation.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- All 3 major failures (coil springs, SRS) were immediately rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
- Consistent annual mileage before the 2022 anomaly, suggesting regular use.
- No recurring dangerous defects or major structural corrosion found in the MOT history.
