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 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 29,547 miles. The vehicle's age and known model weaknesses warrant a thorough inspection.
The mileage trajectory is consistent with normal UK usage, averaging 6,382 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though annual usage has fluctuated.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (Mar 2025, Mar 2026) and advisories (Mar 2020, Mar 2022) indicate a systemic issue.
- Recurring tyre advisories (Mar 2019, Mar 2022, Mar 2025) and a subframe corrosion advisory (Mar 2025) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- The 2013 Ford model has a known history of head gasket issues, which aligns with the 'blown head gasket' community report for this variant.
- The vehicle is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge in London.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal mileage for its age (6,382 mi/yr) suggests reasonable wear and tear.
- No major structural corrosion failures recorded, only advisories for subframe and tyres.
