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 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 12,024 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated issues with safety-critical components warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,133 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures (Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Jul 2023) and advisories (Aug 2025) suggest ongoing wear.
  • Brake system failures (Aug 2020, Aug 2021, Jul 2023) and advisories (Aug 2025) indicate a history of maintenance needs.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (Aug 2020, Jul 2023, Aug 2024) and one failure (Aug 2021) point to consistent wear.
  • The 2013 Ford 1.2L engine is prone to overheating and head gasket issues, as per community knowledge.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until August 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,133 miles/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided history.
  • All past failures were promptly rectified and passed on retest, indicating responsive ownership.
