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 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,272 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,676 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 3-year period of very low usage (May 2023 to May 2024).

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures on 2022-06-22 and 2021-08-21 indicate severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failures on 2022-06-22 and 2021-08-21 point to chronic maintenance issues.
  • Recurring handbrake advisories on 2026-05-26 and 2022-06-22 suggest ongoing issues.
  • The 2013 Ford 1.6L diesel engine is prone to head gasket failure and overheating issues.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, valid MOT until 2027-05-26, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • Mileage is consistently low, averaging 6,676 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT history.
  • The car has a long MOT expiry date, providing peace of mind for several years.
