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 67% pass rate and 20,256 miles. The recurring nature of critical safety and emissions issues, combined with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 9,402 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated significantly over its 13-year life.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Nov 2025): Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick inner pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake failure recorded on 2018-04-13, a critical safety defect.
  • Recurring major emissions failures (2018, 2025) and advisories (2022, 2023) indicate persistent issues.
  • Multiple recurring suspension failures (2018, 2025) and advisories (2022, 2023) point to chronic neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent and normal for its age, averaging 9,402 miles/year.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
  • The car has been consistently tested and maintained, despite its problematic history.
