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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 53,491 miles. While mileage is consistent, the high annual usage and repeated issues with critical components warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle exhibits high annual usage, averaging 16,395 miles per year, with consistent readings from 53,491 miles in Feb 2019 to 165,077 miles in Jan 2026, showing no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2020-02-19 (84,731 mi) indicates severe neglect.
- Recurring 'sill covers fitted' advisory across 6 tests (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) suggests ongoing structural corrosion.
- High annual mileage (16,395 mi/yr) compared to UK average (8,000 mi/yr) means accelerated wear.
- Multiple recurring advisories for tyres, engine/oil, and bodywork indicate a pattern of deferred maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-02-02 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies or signs of odometer fraud.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects since the 2020 brake issue.
- Immediate retests after failures show issues were addressed, albeit with advisories.
