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

This 2003 Ford has 27 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 11,281 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing very low annual usage (1,746 mi/yr) but a significant 6,193 mi/yr jump before Jul 2023, and a 2,470 mi jump in Jul 2024, with a total of 39,368 miles recorded over 22 years.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures and advisories across multiple tests (Sep 2019, Jul 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025).
  • Very low mileage averaging 1,746 miles/year, with a 6,193 mi/yr jump before Jul 2023.
  • Exhaust advisory noted on the latest test (Jul 2025) — a recurring issue.
  • Brake hose corrosion repeatedly flagged (Jul 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025).

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until July 2026, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects were recorded on the latest MOT test.
  • The car has been consistently registered and maintained with MOT tests since 2003.
  • No evidence of
