AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Ford has 21 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 29,886 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2018-04-22, which is a major legal and safety concern.
The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 11,007 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the MOT history is highly problematic.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2018-04-22, indicating no current roadworthiness.
- 9 major failures across critical systems (lights, brakes, tyres, emissions) from 2006-04-03 to 2017-04-02.
- 21 advisories on the same components (tyres, brakes, exhaust) from 2006-04-03 to 2017-04-02.
- Recurring issues with the same components (tyres, brake hose, exhaust) indicate systemic neglect.
Working in its favour
- Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 11,000 miles per year.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent service history as evidenced by the MOT records.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been proactive in addressing issues.
