AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 20,536 miles. The vehicle's age and potential head gasket issues require thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,419 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 57,765 miles recorded over 13 years.
Things to check
- Recurring suspension advisories (2018, 2022, 2023) indicate ongoing wear and potential future costs.
- Recurring tyre advisories (2018, 2022, 2023) suggest a pattern of neglect or poor road conditions.
- Two MOT failures (May 2020, April 2021) with no defect details provided, which is a concern for buyer transparency.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, offering peace of mind for several years.
- Consistently low annual mileage (4,419 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
