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 24 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 18,277 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT further complicate its roadworthiness and legality.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 7,772 miles/year, averaging 8,000 annually, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 18,277-mile MOT record.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defects recorded for steering, suspension, and tyres in Oct 2018 and Sep 2021 tests.
  • Recurring MAJOR failures for bodywork and lights in Oct 2019 and Sep 2021 tests.
  • Recurring MAJOR failures for suspension and bodywork in Oct 2019 and Sep 2021 tests.
  • Recurring ADVISORY failures for brakes, fuel system, and emissions across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,772 miles/year, aligning with UK average of 8,000.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently been tested and maintained, albeit with significant issues.
