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 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 27,940 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a 22-year-old vehicle's MOT history, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 104 miles in the last year (Apr 2026), which is a significant anomaly for a 22-year-old vehicle.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure in Sep 2020, followed by immediate retest PASS.
- Recurring brake disc advisories in Sep 2019 and Sep 2020.
- Recurring suspension component mounting corrosion advisory in May 2022.
- Recent Apr 2026 mileage of 104 miles is extremely low for a 22-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-04-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the May 2026 pass.
- Consistent annual mileage trajectory before the recent anomaly.
- No immediate MOT retest required after the latest pass.
