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

This 2013 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 28,077 miles. The mileage trajectory is suspicious, and the vehicle's age combined with its history makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop in annual usage from 2018 to 2021, followed by a sharp increase in 2024-2025, with a 2020 service gap, indicating potential odometer fraud or inconsistent usage.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Oct 2022 and Oct 2023 MOTs.
  • Major suspension failures in Oct 2023 and Nov 2024, with recurring advisories.
  • Major steering failures in Oct 2023 and Nov 2024, with recurring advisories.
  • Major lighting failures in Oct 2023 and Nov 2024, with recurring advisories.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until November 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The vehicle has a consistent mileage history, albeit with some unusual spikes and drops.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the current owner has addressed immediate issues.
