AI verdict AVOID 60/100
AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2016 Ford has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 10,160 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2014–present turbo failure and 1998–present overheating issues in community reports, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 10,160 miles in 10 years (Jun 2019), then only 185 miles in 10 months (May 2026), indicating potential odometer fraud or a severe underuse issue.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 3,220 miles/yr (Jun 2019) and only 185 miles in 10 months (May 2026).
- Community-reported high-risk issues: Turbo failure (2014–present), overheating (1998–present), and head gasket issues (2013+).
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., +2,794 miles in 12 months to May 2024).
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until June 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the June 2023 brake system issues.
- Consistent annual mileage increases (pre-May 2026) suggest regular use, despite low overall numbers.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
