AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 6,882 miles. The car's history is inconsistent with normal usage, making it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage averaging 1,125 miles/year, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 14 miles/year 2022-2023, 894 miles/year 2024-2025) that is highly inconsistent with typical UK vehicle usage.
Things to check
- Extremely low mileage: 1,125 mi/yr average over 8 years, far below UK average (8,000 mi/yr), indicating potential odometer tampering.
- Mileage significantly below cohort: 9,489 mi total for a 2017, indicating potential odometer fraud or unreported mileage.
- Consistent low annual usage: 14 miles/year (2022-2023), 894 miles/year (2024-2025) — no plausible explanation for a 2017 vehicle.
- Brake system advisories: Front brake discs worn/pitted (Jun 2023) and fluctuating brakes (Jun 2023) — indicates neglect and potential immediate repair costs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT pass record: 6 consecutive passes with no failures recorded since first registration.
- No dangerous defects: All MOT tests show no dangerous defects, indicating no immediate safety hazards.
- Valid MOT until 2026-06-29: The vehicle has
