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 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 27,516 miles. The mileage is low for its age, but the pattern of neglect and safety-critical issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistent, normal annual usage averaging 11,379 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes in the 13-year history.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jul 2024): Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))

  • Major suspension failure in 2018 and 2025, with recurring advisories for exhaust and brakes.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 11,379 miles per year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • Valid MOT until July 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures for major safety systems like brakes or steering.
