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 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 25,871 miles. The low annual mileage for its age is a significant concern.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,298 miles/year, but a 1-year MOT gap (Mar 2023 to Jun 2023) and a 2-year period of very low annual mileage (2020-2022) are significant red flags.
Things to check
- MOT gap: No MOT recorded between 2023-03-14 and 2023-06-14, a critical 3-month period.
- Low annual mileage: Only 7,298 miles/year average, significantly below UK average for a 2017 vehicle.
- Single major failure: Windscreen washer insufficient (2025-07-06) and Headlamp aim too high (2025-07-06).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-07-06, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring major failures, only minor advisories and one isolated failure.
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No dangerous defects or structural corrosion noted in MOT history.
