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 57% pass rate and 65,015 miles. The mileage anomaly and recurring suspension issues make this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 1,056 miles/year between Feb 2025 and the 2017 registration, despite normal usage of 10,783 miles/year for its first 12 years.

Things to check

  • Dangerous tyre defects recorded in 7 separate MOT tests (e.g., Feb 2019, Feb 2020).
  • Five major failures across critical safety systems (suspension, brakes, lights) since 2017.
  • Recurring suspension arm and anti-roll bar link failures/advisories from 2019 to 2023.
  • Brake system advisories and failures from 2018 to 2025, with no resolution.

Working in its favour

  • No current MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest test (Feb 2025).
  • Consistent high annual mileage for its first 12 years (2013-2017), indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in DVLA data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars (2017) provides some basic safety assurance.
