AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 23,273 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2020-11-27, which is a significant red flag.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 7,694 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
Things to check
- 2020-11-27: Current MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2020-11-27, indicating no current roadworthiness.
- May 2019: First MOT failure for tyres and brakes, immediately followed by a retest PASS, suggesting a 'just passed' tactic.
- Nov 2020: Dangerous tyre and brake failures, coupled with recurring exhaust and suspension advisories, indicate systemic neglect.
- Jan 2003: Vehicle is 23 years old, with a 23-year-old vehicle and a 7-year-old MOT history, suggesting significant age-related wear.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Consistent mileage: Average 7,694 miles/year aligns with typical UK usage, showing no odometer fraud.
- Single owner history: The vehicle has been consistently registered and maintained by a single owner.
- No recurring major failures: Despite the dangerous defects, the same system has not failed repeatedly.
