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

This 2003 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 33,935 miles. However, the 23-year-old vehicle's age, combined with a 2017 MOT expiry and no current status, presents significant risks.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,323 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, but the vehicle is 23 years old.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2017-08-31; no current MOT status is a major red flag for roadworthiness.
  • Three test failures (Jun 2013, Aug 2014, Sep 2016) with no defect details are a significant concern.
  • Recurring advisories on lights (4 times) and windscreen (2 times) indicate ongoing maintenance needs.
  • The 23-year-old vehicle's age, combined with a 2017 MOT expiry, presents significant wear and tear risks.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 9,323 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) across multiple MOT tests.
  • The 2017 MOT expiry is a long time ago, meaning the car was roadworthy then.
