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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 34,260 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2016-07-13, which is a critical legal and safety concern.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,086 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers detected.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2016-07-13, indicating no current roadworthiness.
  • Six major failures across critical systems (suspension, windscreen, bodywork, emissions) from 2008-2015.
  • Recurring suspension arm bush failures (2008, 2009, 2013) and tyre/wiper advisories (2008, 2014) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Brake system failure (2009) and imbalanced advisory (2008) suggest ongoing brake issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,086 miles/year, with no suspicious anomalies.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has been consistently tested and maintained, albeit with significant recurring issues.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has addressed immediate issues.
