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 11 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 29,113 miles. While mileage is consistent, the repeated issues with safety-critical components like suspension and engine oil suggest potential underlying neglect.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 9,484 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though there are unexplained MOT gaps in 2021 and 2023.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advisories from Dec 2020 to Mar 2024 escalated to MAJOR failures, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Brake disc wear and pad thickness were flagged as DANGEROUS on 2020-12-04 and as ADVISORY on 2026-03-12, showing no resolution.
  • Engine oil and suspension advisories appear in 8 separate tests, indicating a systemic lack of maintenance.
  • The 2021 and 2023 MOT gaps suggest periods of off-road use or unverified history, raising questions about care.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-03-12, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Mileage is consistent, averaging 9,484 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering is present in the MOT records.
