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

This 2016 Ford has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 18,788 miles. The recurring pattern of brake, tyre, and lighting issues, combined with a significant mileage discrepancy, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage discrepancy: 18,788 miles in June 2019, then 29,490 miles in February 2021, indicating a possible odometer fraud or a significant gap in recorded history.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (2022-02-03).
  • Recurring Brake System: Multiple major failures and advisories for pads, discs, and fluctuating brakes (2021-02-02, 2022-02-03, 2023-02-03).
  • Recurring Tyre Condition: Multiple major failures and advisories for tyre damage and wear (2019-06-22, 2021-02-02, 2025-03-01).
  • Recurring Lighting System: Multiple major failures for headlamps and stop lamps (2021-02-02, 2022-02-03).

Working in its favour

  • MOT currently valid until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for now.
  • Consistent annual mileage of approximately 8,600 miles since 2019, suggesting regular use.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
