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

This 2017 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 17,004 miles. While these were addressed, the repeated tyre advisories suggest a potential underlying issue.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,403 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating genuine usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories from Mar 2022 to Mar 2025, escalating to major failures by Mar 2026.
  • Major brake failure on 2024-03-25, followed by a retest pass the same day.
  • Major suspension failure on 2025-03-25, followed by a retest pass the same day.
  • Consistent pattern of wear on critical safety components (tyres, brakes, suspension) over multiple years.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-28, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 6,403 miles/year, suggesting genuine use.
  • All major failures (brakes, suspension, lights) were immediately rectified and passed on retest.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT history.
