AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2014 Ford has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 13,837 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a history of unaddressed critical issues, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,564 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2022 and 2023 (only 105 miles in 12 months).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2026): Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its st
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2019-03-25 and 2024-03-25, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in suspension (coil springs, 2023-04-04, 2025-04-04) and brakes (2023-04-04, 2025-04-04) across multiple tests.
  • Major failure for 'Service brake excessively fluctuating' on 2026-04-04, a critical safety system.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until 2027-04-02, indicating it is roadworthy for the next three years.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, as all readings are consistent and plausible for a 2014 vehicle.
  • The car has been consistently registered and taxed since its first registration in 2014.
