AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 22,901 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 4-year MOT gap, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 22,901 miles over 13 years, with a significant 4-year gap (Jun 2020-Aug 2024) where no MOT tests were recorded, indicating unverified usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Hydraulic brake cylinder leaking hydraulic fluid (Jun 2018) — immediate safety concern.
- MILEAGE GAPS: No MOT tests recorded for 4 years (Jun 2020–Aug 2024), indicating unverified usage and potential odometer fraud.
- EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE: Only 22,901 miles recorded in 13 years, far below UK average, suggesting long periods of inactivity or potential tampering.
- RECURRING BRAKE ISSUES: Multiple advisories and one major failure for brake wear (Jun 2018, 2019, 2020) indicate chronic neglect of critical safety components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current mechanical condition is acceptable.
- Consistent annual mileage increases since 2018, showing no sudden drops or spikes.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
