AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2018 Ford has 8 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 13,252 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and recurring tyre failures, coupled with a 3-star Euro NCAP safety rating, make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 13,252 miles over 8 years (Jun 2021) and only 32,237 miles by May 2026, indicating potential odometer fraud or severe underuse.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 32,237 mi total (May 2026) — bottom 10% of similar FORDs of this age.
- Dangerous tyre defects on 2023-07-03 (both rear tyres) — immediate safety risk.
- Dangerous brake pad failure on 2023-07-03 (front pads <1.5mm) — critical safety component.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Jul 2022, Jul 2023) escalating to dangerous failures (Jul 2023) — pattern of neglect.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-12 — no immediate retest required.
- No recurring failures on critical systems (engine, transmission, steering) — only tyres and brakes.
- Consistent retest pattern (immediately fixed after failures) — owner addressed issues promptly.
