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

This 2002 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 19,115 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the pattern of issues suggests significant ongoing maintenance costs.

The vehicle shows very low annual mileage of 5,469 miles/year, averaging only 19,115 miles over 24 years, which is below the UK average.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm issues (Sep 2009, Sep 2010) indicate chronic wear.
  • Brake hose failures (Sep 2011, Jun 2016) and multiple advisories (e.g., Sep 2009) point to a systemic problem.
  • Multiple bodywork and lights failures (e.g., Sep 2009, Jun 2016) suggest poor overall condition.
  • The 2006 MOT gap is a significant concern, indicating a period of unrecorded use or neglect.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle has a current, albeit expired, MOT certificate (valid until 2016-06-18).
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing responsive owner action.
  • No recent major failures or advisories from the last few MOT tests.
