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

This 2001 Ford has 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 33,330 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and the vehicle's age warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal usage with 33,330 miles over 25 years, averaging 7,745 miles/year, which is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre failures (Oct 2005, Oct 2007) and advisories (6 related) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Brake system failures (Oct 2005, Oct 2007) and advisories (4 related) point to a history of poor maintenance.
  • The 2008-04-30 MOT failure for insufficient brake pedal reserve, followed by a retest PASS, is a red flag for safety.
  • The 2007-10-25 MOT failure for insufficient brake pedal reserve, followed by a retest PASS, is another red flag for safety.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over 25 years, averaging 7,745 miles/year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit expired (2012-05-10).
  • No recurring major structural failures or dangerous defects in the MOT record.
