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

This 2014 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 30,737 miles. The mileage trajectory is consistent, but the vehicle's past maintenance and potential underlying issues present significant risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,529 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausibly low annual usage, but a significant 1,151-mile period in 2024 is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in emissions (5 times), suspension (3 times), and steering (3 times) across multiple MOTs.
  • Consistent pattern of suspension arm and anti-roll bar linkage wear, indicating chronic structural neglect.
  • Multiple advisories for steering rack wear and subframe corrosion in the most recent MOT (Feb 2026).
  • A 1,151-mile period in 2024 suggests a potential period of very low or no use.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 9,529 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing responsive ownership.
