AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 21,762 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the repeated tyre issues and low recent usage warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Jan 2022 (19 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 2,177 miles/year between Feb 2023 and Jan 2026.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre failures and advisories across 10 MOT tests, indicating persistent wear.
- Mileage dropped significantly from 8,500 miles/year to 2,177 miles/year between 2023 and 2026.
- Major failures for windscreen obstruction (Oct 2021) and battery bracket (Jan 2022) were addressed.
- Recent MOT (Jan 2026) shows an advisory for worn rear tyres and a worn brake disc.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
- Consistent annual mileage increases before the significant drop in 2023.
