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 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate. While mileage is high, the vehicle's maintenance history is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows high annual mileage, averaging 14,194 miles/year, with a suspiciously low 0 miles recorded between registration in Jan 2017 and the first MOT in Nov 2020.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures: Headlamps (Nov 2020), Brakes (Apr 2024), Windscreen (Apr 2024) — indicates systemic neglect.
- Recurring advisories: Tyres (7 advisories across 3 tests) and Suspension (6 minor defects) — consistent wear items.
- Suspiciously low mileage: 0 miles recorded before Jan 2023, then 1,126 miles/year before Mar 2023 — suggests periods of inactivity or potential fraud.
- High annual mileage: 14,194 miles/year (UK average 8,000) — expect accelerated wear on all components.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 — no immediate retesting required.
- No DANGEROUS defects recorded — all failures were rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- Consistent high mileage: 131,679 miles recorded in April 2026 — no hidden low-usage periods.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering — only advisories.
