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 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 11,919 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a complete lack of recent MOT data and a 23-year gap in records, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a single MOT pass in 2006 with 11,919 miles, but no subsequent MOT history or mileage readings are available, making any assessment of mileage integrity impossible.

Things to check

  • No MOT history available since 2006, despite a 2006-05-04 pass.
  • Current MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2020-03-04, indicating no recent roadworthiness checks.
  • Mileage trajectory is highly irregular and unverifiable due to missing data.
  • The 2003 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a £12.50/day charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • No specific MOT failures or advisories are present in the provided, very limited history.
  • The single 2006-05-04 MOT pass indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that time.
  • The 1.6L petrol engine is generally known for its durability and simplicity.
