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 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 47,631 miles. While issues were addressed, the repeated nature of these advisories suggests ongoing wear and potential future costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,731 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent spike in 2023-2024 was followed by stable annual increments.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake failure (pads <1.5mm) on 2019-02-05, though immediately rectified.
  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint advisories (Mar 2021) escalated to major failure (Mar 2022).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (6 instances) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Turbo failure and head gasket issues are reported in community knowledge for this model.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-04-28, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,731 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • All past failures and advisories were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT record.
