AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Ford has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 22,888 miles. The vehicle is also currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,110 miles per year, averaging only 22,888 miles over 24 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2002 car.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2017-07-13; vehicle is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.
  • 5 major failures across critical safety systems (suspension, seatbelt, tyres) from 2009-2015.
  • 12 recurring advisories on suspension, seatbelt, and tyres indicate chronic neglect.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (5,110 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle is highly suspicious.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • No specific green flags are present in the MOT history for this 24-year-old vehicle.
