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

This 2018 Ford has 6 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 32,500 miles. The recurring position lamp advisories and high usage warrant careful inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,246 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable spike in usage between 2022 and 2023.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-09-02; vehicle is currently not valid for road use.
  • High annual mileage (12,246 mi/yr) for a 2018 model suggests more wear and tear.
  • Two separate position lamp failures (Jan 2022, Aug 2023) suggest a recurring electrical issue.
  • Two MOT failures (Jan 2022, Sep 2024) with no defect details provided for analysis.

Working in its favour

  • All MOT failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or round numbers detected.
  • No persistent major system failures (brakes, suspension) across multiple MOT tests.
  • The 1.0L EcoBoost engine is generally known for its reliability and fuel efficiency.
