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

This 2004 Ford has 23 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 22,229 miles. This makes it unroadworthy and illegal to drive, posing significant safety and legal risks.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 9,131 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.

Things to check

  • MOT status: Not valid — no current MOT certificate, making it unroadworthy.
  • MOT expiry date: None recorded — no valid MOT expiry date, indicating a significant lapse.
  • First registration: Jan 2004 — a 22-year-old vehicle with no current MOT.
  • Tax status: Untaxed — vehicle is not currently taxed, adding to the overall neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • No recurring failures on the same system — only one major failure for lights.
  • Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 9,131 miles/year.
  • No DANGEROUS defects recorded in the MOT history.
