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

This 2002 Ford has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 22,805 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2019-06-23, which is a major red flag.

The vehicle shows 115,627 miles at its only recorded MOT in June 2018, but this is highly suspicious given the car's age and the complete absence of any subsequent mileage records.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2019-06-23; current status is 'Not valid' — a major legal and safety concern.
  • Mileage anomaly: 115,627 miles in June 2018 is unusually high for a 2002 vehicle, with no subsequent readings.
  • Only one MOT test recorded in 24 years of ownership, with no retests or subsequent history.
  • Outstanding tyre advisories from June 2018 (nearside and offside rear) remain unresolved and unaddressed.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No recorded MOT failures across its history, indicating no immediate safety-critical defects.
  • The single recorded MOT pass in June 2018 suggests a basic level of roadworthiness at that time.
  • The Ford 2.0L engine is known for its durability and long-term reliability when properly maintained.
