AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 4,361 miles. The vehicle's very low mileage and recurring tyre/brake advisories further compound its questionable provenance.

The MOT history shows a critical 254,060-mile retest anomaly on 14 May 2025, followed by a 249,871-mile decrease to 32,411 miles by 14 May 2026, indicating clear odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between May 2025 (282,282 mi) and May 2026 (32,411 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • Mileage anomaly: 254,060-mile retest on 14 May 2025, then 249,871-mile decrease by 14 May 2026 — clear odometer tampering.
  • Mileage integrity: 32,411 miles total is 10% of UK average for a 2013 Ford, strongly suggesting fraud.
  • Recurring tyre failures: Nearside Front Tyre had a bulge (FAILED 30 May 2017), then cut (FAILED 30 May 2017), then worn (ADVISORY 25 May 2016) — pattern of neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • No failures on structural integrity or engine systems — core mechanicals appear sound.
  • Valid MOT until 20 May 2027 — no immediate retest or safety concerns.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering — only advisories.
