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

This 2001 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 44,746 miles. The low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-year MOT gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.

The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage (7,880 miles/yr) with no anomalies, but a 5-year MOT gap from 2015-2020 is highly unusual.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in lights (5 times), brakes (3 times), and suspension (1 time) indicate systemic neglect.
  • The 5-year MOT gap from 2015-2020 suggests the vehicle was not legally on the road or was not maintained.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (7,880 mi/yr) for a 25-year-old vehicle raises questions about its true usage and maintenance.
  • The Oct 2014 FAIL for all position lamps after a PRS on Oct 2009 shows a pattern of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,880 mi/yr) suggests light usage, potentially extending component life.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate as of the latest test in Oct 2014, despite the 5-year gap.
