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 28 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 9,138 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 4,233 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, raising odometer fraud concerns.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Oct 2024): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 2008 and 2018, indicating severe neglect.
  • Major emissions failures in 2018 and 2024, suggesting ongoing environmental issues.
  • Persistent brake hose corrosion (2018, 2024) and exhaust insecurity (2018, 2025) point to systemic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until October 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The car has a consistent mileage history, despite the low annual usage, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars is average for its era, not a significant positive.
