AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2017 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 5,513 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a recent failure, makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Oct 2024 (431 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike to 10,419 miles in the subsequent 12 months.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2020-07-09, indicating a severe safety failure.
- Recurring brake disc advisories across 4 tests (2020, 2021, 2022, 2024) suggest a systemic issue.
- Brake pad advisories on 2024-10-04 and 2025-09-30 indicate ongoing wear and potential imminent failure.
- Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage (431 mi/yr) before Oct 2024.
Working in its favour
- No MOT failures recorded since the 2024-10-04 retest, indicating immediate issues were addressed.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-06, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2024, showing no recent periods of prolonged inactivity.
