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 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 35,072 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and unexplained usage patterns further compound its poor reliability and safety record.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant jump of 78,220 miles between Oct 2006 and Jun 2008, followed by unusually low annual usage (3,239 miles in 2009-2011), indicating inconsistent and potentially fraudulent usage.

Things to check

  • Jun 2008: All four brake discs worn/pitted, with parking brake efficiency only just met — critical safety system.
  • Jul 2012: Nearside Rear position lamp excessively deteriorated, Nearside Inner Rear Anti-roll bar rubber bush deteriorated — recurring suspension and lighting issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
