AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2001 Ford has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 32,751 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is also 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2013-08-31, indicating it has been off-road for over a decade.
The MOT history shows a normal annual usage of 9,862 miles/year until 2012, but then a massive 47,871-mile jump occurred between the 2010 and 2012 tests, indicating a significant and unexplained mileage anomaly.
Things to check
- MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2013-08-31, indicating it has been off-road for over a decade.
- A 47,871-mile jump between 2010 and 2012 is a major red flag for potential odometer fraud.
- The 2012 MOT showing 115,132 miles is implausibly high for a 2001 Ford at that time.
- The vehicle has a 25-year history with no consistent maintenance or usage records.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- No recurring major failures on safety-critical systems like brakes or steering.
- The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage for its first 11 years.
- The 2012 MOT pass indicates the car was roadworthy at that time, despite the mileage anomaly.
