AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 15,276 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of critical safety failures, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 15,276 miles over 10 years (Jan 2016 to Mar 2026), which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles per year.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2026): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
- DANGEROUS defect: Tyres (Mar 2026) — immediate road safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Brakes (Mar 2026) — immediate road safety risk.
- Recurring suspension failures: Coil springs (Jan 2023) and ball joint (Jan 2023) — indicates chronic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 — current roadworthiness certification.
- No recurring failures in critical systems like engine or transmission — major mechanical issues are not present in the MOT record.
- The vehicle has a consistent MOT history, with all failures promptly rectified and retested.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided MOT data.
