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

This 2002 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 38,800 miles. The vehicle is 24 years old with extremely low mileage for its age, raising significant concerns about its roadworthiness and maintenance.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage for its age, with only 38,800 miles recorded in 2006, far below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2006, making it unroadworthy and illegal to drive.
  • First MOT test on 2006-01-17 is 14 years overdue for a 2002 registration.
  • Mileage of 38,800 miles over 24 years is suspiciously low, indicating potential inactivity.
  • Outstanding finance (HPI check) and Cat N/S write-off status must be verified.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • No recorded MOT failures or dangerous defects in the single 2006 test.
  • The single 2006 MOT pass indicates a basic level of roadworthiness at that time.
  • Low annual mileage (7,535 mi/yr) suggests minimal wear and tear on components.
