AI verdict CAUTION 40/100

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

This 2004 Ford has 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 13,175 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the history of tyre advisories and a major suspension failure warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual mileage averaging 3,545 miles per year, with a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent usage patterns.

Things to check

  • Recurring Offside Rear Tyre advisories (Jul 2018, Jul 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Major Offside Rear Wheel Bearing failure (Jul 2022) followed by a retest pass, suggesting a critical repair.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (3,545 mi/yr) raises questions about vehicle usage and potential neglect.
  • A 2020 service gap (no MOT recorded) is a significant concern for maintenance history.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until July 2026 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tam
