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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 20,342 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with tyres, brakes, suspension, and steering components point to a history of reactive maintenance.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,242 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but annual usage has significantly decreased since 2020.
Things to check
- Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Jun 2019, Sep 2022) and brake disc wear (Sep 2024) indicate reactive maintenance.
- Multiple recurring advisories for suspension (shock absorber, ball joint) and steering rack (Jun 2019, Sep 2022) suggest ongoing wear.
- Consistent low annual mileage (1,569 miles in 2025) may indicate limited use or poor maintenance.
- Four test failures (Jun 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2022, Sep 2023) with immediate retests suggest quick fixes rather than proper repairs.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (7,242 miles/year) suggests light use and potential longevity.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
