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

This 2017 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 27,118 miles. The recurring tyre advisories and a recent steering failure indicate potential neglect of wear items.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,857 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent normal annual increase of 12,341 miles.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories from Jun 2020 to Oct 2025 indicate a persistent wear item issue.
  • Major failure for Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint on 2022-09-23 suggests steering component wear.
  • Major failure for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System on 2021-10-14 highlights a specific safety system fault.
  • Offside Front Tyre slightly damaged advisory on 2023-10-14 and 2025-10-14 shows ongoing tyre condition concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,857 miles/year, well below UK average of 8,000.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-10-21, indicating current roadworthiness and no immediate retesting.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
  • No recurring major failures on critical systems like brakes or suspension components.
