AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2004 Ford has 23 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 56,221 miles. The vehicle's high mileage and numerous unresolved advisories make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 13,806 miles/year, with a significant drop from 222,988 miles in Feb 2019 to 237,766 miles in Mar 2021, suggesting a period of inactivity or a potential mileage discrepancy.
Things to check
- Feb 2019: Major failure for Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively corroded.
- Mar 2021: Major failure for Nearside Rear Tyre has a lump, caused by separation.
- Recurring major failures in brakes, suspension, and bodywork across multiple MOTs.
- High mileage (13,806 mi/yr) suggests heavy use and accelerated wear.
Working in its favour
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- No recorded Cat N/S write-off markers on DVLA data.
- Consistent mileage trajectory despite high annual usage.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Mar 2021.
