AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2013 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 37,562 miles. The most critical concern is the unresolved DANGEROUS defect for suspension, which was noted in May 2021 but never addressed.
The vehicle shows normal usage with 37,562 miles over 13 years, averaging 6,444 miles per year, which is below the UK average of 8,000.
Things to check
- Unresolved DANGEROUS suspension defect (May 2021) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring suspension failures/advisories (2018, 2021, 2026) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring lighting failures/advisories (2018, 2026) suggest a systemic electrical issue.
- Unexplained low annual mileage (2022, 2026) raises questions about recent use or storage.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until May 2027, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, normal mileage trajectory over its 13-year lifespan.
- No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the May 2026 pass.
- Immediate retests after failures demonstrate the owner's attempt to address issues promptly.
