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

This 2015 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 61,226 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2027, the pattern of neglect in wear items and fluid levels is a significant red flag.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,277 miles per year, with a notable spike in 2022-2023 (14,914 miles in 74 days) and a significant drop in 2024 (no MOT recorded).

Things to check

  • 2024: No MOT recorded for a full year, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.
  • 2026-03: Latest MOT shows MINOR registration plate lamp and ADVISORY brake pads, indicating ongoing wear.
  • 2018-10: First advisory for worn tyres escalated to DANGEROUS failure by Nov 2019, showing neglect.
  • 2020-11: Major brake fluid failure and performance not tested due to low level, a critical safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-13, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent high mileage suggests regular use and maintenance, despite issues.
  • All past failures were addressed and retested, showing the owner's responsiveness.
