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 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 29,579 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also 'Not valid' since 2015, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The odometer shows a critical 432,035-mile increase on 19 Oct 2009, followed by a 425,148-mile decrease by 20 Oct 2010, indicating clear and severe odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Oct 2009 (480,130 mi) and Oct 2010 (54,982 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage decreased by 425,148 miles between 19 Oct 2009 (480,130 mi) and 20 Oct 2010 (54,982 mi) — clear odometer fraud.
  • Mileage increased by 432,035 miles on 19 Oct 2009 retest — highly suspicious and unverifiable.
  • MOT status is 'Not valid' since 2015-02-05, meaning the vehicle has been unroadworthy for over 9 years.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle due to the severe mileage anomalies and unverified roadworthiness.
