AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 15,076 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre failures and unverified mileage warrants a thorough investigation.

A significant unverified mileage gap exists from Sep 2013 to Mar 2017, with only 3,535 miles recorded between Feb 2021 and Mar 2022, indicating inconsistent usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm both (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2026-03-30, indicating severe neglect.
  • Unverified mileage gap from Sep 2013 to Mar 2017, suggesting potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring tyre failures (Mar 2023 PRS, Mar 2026 DANGEROUS) show a clear pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) across its MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2017, despite the earlier unverified period.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers.
