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

This 2016 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 39,954 miles. This suggests a history of reactive maintenance.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,590 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, including a period of very low annual usage (2019-2023).

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jun 2025): Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2025-06-03 (76,775 mi) after ADVISORY on 2024-05-29 (76,775 mi).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2020, 2022, 2025) and failures (2025) indicate chronic wear.
  • Recurring brake pad advisories (2024) and failure (2025) suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-06-03, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory (9,590 mi/yr) with no fraud indicators.
  • No major structural corrosion or recurring suspension failures noted in MOT history.
