AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2013 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 41,105 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and a 2019-10-23 MOT failure for a safety-critical system also raise serious questions about its roadworthiness.

A critical mileage anomaly exists: 73,545 miles on 2019-10-23, then 73,545 miles again on 2019-10-25, followed by a 39-mile decrease to 100,956 miles on 2024-10-25.

Things to check

  • 2019-10-23 FAILED MOT for Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning lamp — a critical safety system.
  • 2024-10-25 PASSED with 39-mile mileage decrease from 100,995 to 100,956 miles — clear odometer fraud.
  • 2025-10-25 FAILED MOT with ADVISORY for worn brake disc — a recurring and dangerous issue.
  • 2025-10-25 FAILED MOT with ADVISORY for insecure suspension arm — a recurring and dangerous issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,314 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • No
