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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 9,314 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 22-year-old vehicle, presents significant long-term risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,271 miles per year, with a significant 22-month gap in recorded mileage between June 2011 and June 2012.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2008) escalated to failures (Jun 2012, Jul 2013), indicating chronic wear.
  • Suspension coil spring failures (Jun 2012, Jul 2013) suggest a pattern of structural neglect.
  • Emissions failure (Jul 2013) is a major safety concern for a 22-year-old vehicle.
  • The 22-year-old vehicle with only 9,314 miles recorded since 2004 is a major red flag for age-related wear.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner and light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
