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 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 12,451 miles. The car's history shows consistent owner attention to immediate repairs.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 12,451 miles over 9 years (Jan 2017 to Apr 2026), which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 12,451 miles over 9 years (Jan 2017 to Apr 2026).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2025) and brake pad advisories (Apr 2024, Apr 2025) indicate ongoing wear.
  • Two major MOT failures (wiper Apr 2021, headlamp aim Apr 2021) followed by immediate retests suggest reactive maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent retest passes after failures demonstrate the owner's prompt attention to repairs.
  • No major recurring failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or suspension.
