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

This 2002 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 54% pass rate and 41,147 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2013-05-17, which is a major legal and safety concern.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent high usage, averaging 15,816 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible figures.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2013-05-17, indicating no current roadworthiness.
  • 6 major failures across critical systems (tyres, brakes, lights, suspension) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc and pad advisories (May 2007) and tyre damage (Apr 2010) show chronic wear.
  • High annual mileage (15,816 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle suggests heavy commercial use.

Working in its favour

  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, indicating issues were addressed.
  • No recurring structural corrosion or major engine failures are evident in the MOT record.
  • The 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017 is a positive for modern safety standards.
