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 18 MOT tests on record with a 61% pass rate and 26,920 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated nature of these issues suggests potential underlying neglect or structural weaknesses.
The vehicle exhibits consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,148 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, and a recent period of very low usage (Jan 2024: 82,571 mi, Jan 2026: 93,172 mi).
Things to check
- Recurring brake system failures (Feb 2017, Feb 2020, Feb 2021) and advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) indicate chronic issues.
- Multiple tyre failures (Feb 2017, Feb 2020) and advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) suggest a history of poor maintenance.
- Suspension major failure (Feb 2020) and 6 related advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021) point to ongoing structural wear.
- Emissions advisories (Feb 2020, Feb 2021, Feb 2022) are recurring and suggest a potential underlying problem.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
- Valid MOT until January 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,148 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
