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 64% pass rate and 27,621 miles. The repeated windscreen wiper failures are a significant red flag for owner diligence.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 8,070 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine odometer readings.

Things to check

  • Recurring windscreen wiper failures (Mar 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2022) indicate poor owner maintenance.
  • Persistent tyre advisories (14 flags) across 6 tests suggest chronic wear and neglect.
  • Exhaust and suspension advisories (5+ flags) across 3 tests point to ongoing structural wear.
  • Four test failures (Mar 2019, Sep 2020, Sep 2022, Sep 2023) for various defects, not isolated issues.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal mileage for its age (27,621 mi over 10 years).
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects (e.g., brakes, suspension).
  • Immediate retests after failures show issues were addressed, albeit reactively.
