AI verdict AVOID 22/100
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 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 85,255 miles. The presence of recurring tyre advisories and a dangerous head gasket issue from community reports makes this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle's mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, with a significant decrease from 170,604 miles in Oct 2011 to 77,858 miles in Sep 2012, and consistently low annual usage since.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Sep 2010 (170,604 mi) and Oct 2011 (77,858 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
- Mileage decreased from 170,604 miles (Oct 2011) to 77,858 miles (Sep 2012) — possible odometer tampering.
- Not valid MOT since 2004 — 22 years without a current MOT is a major safety concern.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Sep 2018, Sep 2022) indicate a chronic and expensive wear item.
Working in its favour
- No specific recent MOT failures or advisories that are immediately dangerous.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history since its last MOT.
- The Ford 1.4L engine is generally known for its durability and simplicity.
