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 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 11,643 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,869 miles per year, averaging only 11,643 miles over 13 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge (Oct 2018) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of requirements (Oct 2016) — severe tyre condition.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Track rod end ball joint worn to detachment (Oct 2023) — critical steering failure.
  • Recurring major failures: Brakes (5 failures) and Suspension (4 failures) — systemic neglect of safety systems.

Working in its favour

  • MOT currently valid until 2026-11-03, indicating a recent pass despite history.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • No recurring failures in emissions systems, which is a positive for this vehicle.
