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

This 2004 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 45,037 miles. The vehicle's high mileage for its age, combined with a 2016 service gap and a 2018 MOT expiry, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,270 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable 2016 service gap and a 2018 MOT expiry.

Things to check

  • Deeply troubled MOT history with 6 failures and 7 major recurring defects.
  • Brake system failures and advisories are a recurring pattern across multiple tests.
  • Tyre condition advisories and failures are a persistent issue throughout its history.
  • The 2016 service gap and 2018 MOT expiry indicate potential neglect or administrative issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this vehicle.
