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 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 28,175 miles. While mileage is consistent, the recurring suspension advisories and a recent anti-roll bar bush advisory warrant careful inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,549 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, showing normal usage for its age.
Things to check
- Dangerous Nearside Front Tyre tear failure on 2006-03-30, indicating poor initial maintenance.
- Recurring suspension advisories (2006, 2013) suggest ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- Recent anti-roll bar bush advisory (Sep 2014) indicates a current, unaddressed wear item.
- Five test failures across 14 MOTs, including a dangerous tyre defect, points to inconsistent maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,549 miles/year, indicating normal usage for its age.
- No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, steering) after initial issues were addressed.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2015-09-07, despite current status being 'Not valid'.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
