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

This 2001 Ford has 22 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 32,760 miles. The vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage of 4,804 miles/year, with a 25-year gap in MOT records and only 3 recorded tests.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2021-07-06; vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.
  • Recurring suspension failures (Jun 2019) and subframe corrosion (Jun 2020) are major structural concerns.
  • The 25-year gap in MOT records (2006-2019) is a critical data anomaly for a 25-year-old vehicle.
  • Dangerous defects like corroded subframe and suspension failures indicate severe underlying issues.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last test in Jun 2020.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since its first MOT in 2006.
  • No immediate MOT retest costs are evident from the provided MOT history.
