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

This 2013 Ford has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 48,667 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the vehicle's past safety record makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,804 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history reveals significant safety concerns.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2018-10-15 and 2023-10-30, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring brake system advisories and failures across multiple tests (e.g., 2020-10-15, 2023-10-30) suggest a systemic weakness.
  • The 2017-10-26 failed MOT for headlamp aim, though quickly rectified, points to a lack of basic maintenance.
  • The 2013 Ford is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 9,804 miles/year, indicating regular use without suspicious gaps.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-10-30, confirming its current roadworthiness status.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The 2013 Ford has a long history of parts availability and a strong network of independent repair shops.
