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

This 2014 Ford has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 40,049 miles. The recurring nature of these issues, especially tyres, suggests a high likelihood of immediate and ongoing maintenance costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 7,644 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a 185-mile retest anomaly on 17 Apr 2024 warrants investigation.

Things to check

  • Major Offside Front brake caliper failure on 2017-08-09, indicating poor maintenance.
  • Recurring tyre advisories across 6 tests (2018, 2021, 2025) and a major failure (2017) suggest chronic wear.
  • Nearside Rear Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm advisory on 2017-08-09, followed by a major failure (2017-08-09), points to neglect.
  • Unusually large mileage difference (185 mi) between retest pair on 17 Apr 2024 suggests a possible data entry error or test irregularity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-20, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,644 miles/year, aligning with typical UK usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or suspiciously round numbers in the mileage history.
  • The 2017-08-09 retest passed immediately after addressing the major brake caliper failure.
